Ask me some "imposing" questions! 16 years as a graphic designer with extensive print knowledge.

I have been in graphic design professionally for 16 years. Having taught myself Photoshop as a teen, I attended design courses at my high school and later in college. My education consists of a professional diploma from International Business College in Indianapolis, IN. I have found that my knowledge and poise provides a unique experience. I have operated a printer(s) or digital press(es) in almost every position I have held. I have also created very intricate variable templates using InDesign’s data merge, GREP, and XMPie. Several clients have commended me on my color matching abilities. I take pride in discovering new quirks or teaching them to others when it comes to software. While my design skills are solid, I would consider myself an above average, expert user when it comes to utilizing software. Obviously, I can help with the basics, but if you are stuck on something, odds are I'll be able to help. I'm a tremendous universal problem solver. If I don't know the answer immediately, I will! If you need help setting up a file to print, I'm the person you want! Here are some of my qualifications: • 16 years experience in design, advertising, marketing and print production with a focus on customer satisfaction • Professional experience (in years) Adobe® Photoshop® (22), Illustrator® (20), InDesign® (16), Acrobat®(~16), Premiere Pro® (1.5), After Effects® (1), Audition® (1), Dreamweaver® (~3), and Lightroom® (~5) • Proficient with Microsoft® Office Excel®, Word®, PowerPoint®, Publisher®, • Broad range of skills designing for multiple printing platforms: digital print production, 1, 2, 4, and 5 color offset presses, wide/grand format inkjet, screen printing, embroidery, packaging design, promotional items/ASI, and some experience writing plates using a Kodak® laser plate setter • Experience in finishing: guillotine operation, scoring, folding, stitching, laminating, installing large format vinyl prints and signs, and more.

Noah Hermes De Boor
Chicago, IL

University of Chicago Graduate

My writing has always been a point of pride for me and has largely been responsible for my academic and professional successes. Beyond an exceptional GPA and my involvement in several literary organizations, I was also a champion debater as well as class president in Highschool. I won several awards for my written work, including the school's prize for speechwriting in my Sophomore year. I went on to major in Philosophy and Religious studies in the University of Chicago's class of 2022, a top 5 American University, where I was selected for the nation's premier honor society for the study of religion. During my time at the university, I served as a student researcher as well as a Teacher's Assistant for the head of my department. I grew up in a predominantly Ukrainian neighborhood in Chicago, and I come from a multilingual family, so I am quite patient with people who haven't had as much practice as I, and I deeply admire the effort to learn a new language. As an English tutor, I'd like to help my students get excited about what they're reading and writing. There are very few habits that will have as radical an impact on the way a person thinks as a consistent reading practice. Sometimes I feel like an entirely different person after I finish a good book, even a short one — it would be such an honor to take part in someone else's journey with the English language and to help them uncover things about their writing, their reading, and themselves that they might not have expected.
