Le Sheppard's Experiences and Journey
Le Sheppard, Digital Artistry in Adobe Illustrator / Adobe Photoshop ...
An artist who takes pride in every job and working in every level of the publishing / design / creative business - digital artistry - creative design - marketing - prepress print / digital artist, creative designer, manager, teacher, and entrepreneur. TSGcreations - from concept to creation to product "Nothing but the best" guaranteed. Personally, I am blessed to be married to Mary Jane (Tettemer) Sheppard and I am father to Margaret Pearl (Maggie P) Sheppard. My wife, daughter, and I have been residents of Bucks County for almost 30 years. Since June of 2003, I’ve been TSGcreations.com / TSGSPORTS.com (wearing MANY hats as in managing all sales, design, invoicing, ordering from worldwide factories, managing orders, and marketing / web design). Sadly, after 13 plus years, TSG's bottom line plummeted with the 2008 recession that changed the custom product industry completely. All the best to you and yours. Be Safe, Le Sheppard / Edward LeRoy Sheppard
Experience ... It's that simple ... knowing how to and when not to. Seeing what's right and what's best for the customer. A love of the creative process as well as a deep desire to produce the best.
Who is Le Sheppard ... Digital Artist with over 30 years experience in every level of the print, publishing, and the creative industry (from management to speed print to prepress to design). Detail oriented with client relations experience, computer skills and creative insight. Demonstrated success in productivity improvement, client service, sales and meeting deadlines ... an artist with enthusiasm for client satisfaction and corporate success.
What have I done in this career ... In my design career I have worked in every level of the design, digital artistry and production industry design everything and anything from newsletter, brochures, ads, direct mailers, etc. - to prepress retouching PhotoShop work - to high end prepress press prep - to managing art departments and designing production networks and processes - working in small shops to high end New York houses from Philly to New York - working with clients such as Lord & Taylor, Johnson & Johnson, TYCO Toys, Mars / M&M, GAF, Shady Brook Foods, Merck, Sunshine Foods, and SO many more. I've designed web sites for many many companies and individuals from politician to companies. Plus I taught digital design at Berkeley Corporation and on site for many small to medium size companies. Quite the career taking to all levels of the publishing, digital artistry and creative industry. Since 06.03 I have owned and operated solely TSGsports, now TSGcreations
Passion ... Simply put - creation. My passion is to create. A company, a design, a concept, a song, or a process that flows. My work, my best work has always been when I am allowed and able to create. From my days as an art student to my songwriter years into my digital artistry - my simple passion was to create. I still find myself searching for new ways to create.
