Hello... I'm Daniel Francis!

Senior Graphic Designer/Project Manager/Presentation Designer/All Around Nice Guy

My name is Daniel Francis. You may also call me Dann. I have been creating, managing, developing, and designing many projects across various industries for years. I have worked with varied Advertising Agencies, Cosmetic and Fashion companies (such as Revlon, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, Sally Hansen, The GAP, and more)  and Publications (Essence, Time Magazine, Barrons Financial News, NYTimes), Financial Institutions (Citigroup, Federal Reserves, and others).

 

GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT (Recently, lol):

Imagine you have a deadline for a major project due in less than 2 weeks. Your MacBook Pro conveniently dies on you while in editing. You go to the Apple store to pick up a new one only to find that the iCore processors are STILL 2 years behind what you are looking for. What do I do? Spend $3500 for the configuration I need to get the work done?

 

Nope...

 

I go home, do some research and CREATE a comparable Desktop MAC by using my Dell XPS8500! Yep! Sometimes you have to know your tech AS WELL as your software! I created what ends up being the equivalent of a $6000 Mac Desktop with ALL OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES AND IT'S A DUAL BOOTABLE SYSTEM (MAC/WIN)! Project was completed with 2 days to spare and the configuration process only took one day for me to complete.

 

Lessons Learned:

Necessity is the mother of invention. A need or problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need or solve the problem.
~Plato.

Always, when confronted with a problem, step back, relax, clear your mind and see if there is a solution that can be concluded.

Now that you have an idea of the kind of person that I am, please feel free to review the rest of my site. :-)
