Several new changes will come to pass Tuesday that will effect how Saav Media operates. The reason for these changes is that I will begin working for Chicopee Ski & Summer Resort as their Marketing and Design Coordinator full-time. Working full-time means that 1) I will not be conducting my personal business during the hours of 9am-5pm, Monday - Friday. 2) Turnaround time on design projects will take closer to 2-3 weeks to complete depending on the project. 3) I will no longer be taking any print or branding projects with a budget less than $300.00 (before printing costs), and I will not be taking any web-based projects with a budget less than $2,000.00. 4) With regards to communication, from Monday-Friday I will only reply to email inquiries. On Saturday’s, I will reply to phone calls between the times of 12pm - 4pm, any other time I will only reply to emails.

I am very excited to start my career with Chicopee Ski and Summer Resort while also excited to be working with you on your design projects. I look forward to the challenges and the triumphs of each design, and the prospect of learning more about the design industry so that I can better myself as a designer and a leader.

My very first volunteer position at Laurier was in video productions - an organization responsible for filming events during orientation week and creating a memorable DVD to sell to students. Since then, I have offered marketing services to not only WLUSU through my roles as executive graphic designer and executive video producer, but also to the SBESS (School of Business and Economics Students’ Society).

Through the four years I have spent at Laurier, I have tried to offer my design services to student organizations so that they may illustrate a professional presence whether online or through print. On April 3rd, 2009, at the volunteer appreciation dinner at Federation Hall (which I sadly was unable to attend), I was awarded the Wilfrid Laurier Students’ Union Marketing Volunteer of the Year Award. This award is presented annually to an individual who demonstrates an immense commitment to the marketing department and provides marketing solutions that best communicate the branding initiatives of several organizations within the union. I humbly accept this award and thank all of the coordinators I have worked with over the past four years for pushing me and helping me become a more creative, responsible, and determined creative artist.

Thank you.
