Pat Monteleone has devoted his professional life to the art of creative communications. For over 30 years he has designed promotional, educational, and marketing campaigns for small businesses and major companies and institutions. Pat’s ability to use the alternate path, to see what’s extra in the ordinary, makes him an invaluable partner in the search for unconventional yet effective solutions to the marketing, branding, graphic design, and publishing/production issues encountered in today’s competitive environments.

He's great with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat, and other standard computer/mobile tools, programs, apps, and social media; he's an experienced user of print production tools, including large-format printers, inkjet and laser presses, and print finishing equipment; he knows photographic processes and illustration techniques. He's a really, really, really good copy writer. In addition to his many superb graphic arts and design skills, Pat is expert at thinking, editing, drawing, envisioning, researching, collaborating, being funny, hands-dirty production work, customer relations, mentoring junior staff, and supporting IT, editorial, traffic, and account departments.

 

In the mid-1970s Pat studied design and photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He's an avid photographer, specializing in candid portraiture and street photography (check out his photo site at www.patographer.com) and is known far and wide as an outstanding jazz singer and ukulele instrumentalist (visit his old music blog at patsymonteleone.wordpress.com).
