I am a Print, Prepress, and Publishing Design Specialist with 25 years of professional experience, currently based in Foshan, Guangdong, China. My core expertise is preparing technically accurate, press-ready artwork for offset, screen, digital, wide-format, label, packaging, laser cutting, CNC, die-cutting, and specialty print production. I also have extensive experience with MGI digital foil and finishing technologies, as well as newspaper, magazine, catalog, book, and multi-page layout production. Because I understand real production workflows — not just graphic design — I know how to prepare files that printers, manufacturers, and production teams can use without unnecessary corrections or delays.
