About
My name is Carl Welch. I am actively seeking employment. I have held many Art Director, Project Management, and Senior positions and most recently filled many “hats” within the IT, Education, and Marketing teams at The David Allen Company from project management to production.
During the last 4 years with DAC, I collaboratively managed and developed the David Allen and GTD brand across a wide range of mediums such as print, audio, video and web. I conceptualized the features and site architecture and technological requirements for gtdconnect.com, the company’s paid member site. I also managed all stages of video production, from lighting, shooting, editing, post-production, compression, and upload and distribution, which helped the company save money by keeping every phase of production in-house.
I am proficient in all Adobe and Apple creative applications and advanced scripting & programming (PHP, AS2, AS3, Javascript, AJAX, XML, MySQL, JSON, CSS, XHTML, some java) and comfortable with Windows, UNIX and Linux servers. This broad range of skills gives me a keen ability to visualize the big picture and communicate effectively between departments and clients.
With nearly 25 years of experience, I greet every new challenge with passion, pride and enthusiasm. Whether working remotely or inhouse, nothing brings me more joy in my work than problem solving and bringing people together to execute ideas.
I have an excellent reputation working as an art director, designer and/or programmer and can manage multiple projects and meet tough deadlines.
My availability is immediate as I was laid of last week, along with 50% of the employees at The David Allen Company. I have worked successfully and remotely for the past 4 years with many companies in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Ojai, Ventura, Montecito and Santa Barbara. I am available for onsite work, meetings and/or telecommuting.
Please find my credentials below. I look forward to speaking with you.
Thank you,
Carl Welch
