Experience

1. May 2026 – present

   Project Coordinator / Planner

   TI Group, Toronto

   • Sole point of contact between client agencies and the plant floor from brief through final invoice, and the escalation point when production issues arise, across 25+ active accounts.
   • Validate specifications from client and sales, author the job spec the quote is built on, and prepare the dockets, layouts and impositions each job runs against.
   • Review incoming artwork and raise discrepancies before they progress downstream, working with prepress to resolve them and reissuing proofs for approval, with printed samples where required.
   • Inspect proofs for colour and content accuracy before release to the client, resolving issues ahead of press by routing corrections through production, engaging the relevant parties and logging non-conformances.
   • Manage 10–20 concurrent jobs on one- to two-week turnarounds, sequencing proofing, press and finishing so competing deadlines are met and ship dates hold.

   SGS & Co (Southern Graphic Systems)

   • Colour contact on 100+ global brand programs, working between account teams, production and print sites across regions and substrates.
