Gudzan CV

OK I get it. You get lots of résumés and you’ve gotta prequalify them. I’m super proud of that creative, artsy layout on the first page of this document, but just in case your automatic reader program missed it, here’s a non-formatted, keyword-rich, text-recognizable version for your bots to crawl through too. Aaaand, if you’d like to see a more complete picture of who I am and what I’ve been up to lately, use this link to download the full version:

ABOUT ME:
I’m a passionate brand builder, a visionary creative, and a lifelong fisherman and conservationist. Along the way I’ve been a corporate executive, a creative director, and a starving artist too (with some pretty great success later on). But at 35 years old, I’m finally figuring it out. Simply put, I’ve mistakenly used my talents so far to make money; when I should be making change (which by the way, also makes money when it serves the greater good). Now, I’m pursuing real purpose: using my gifts to create meaningful branding, and helping consumers make soulful connections to responsibly-made merchandise. I’ve got a great story to share, and if you’re about the same stuff, we should talk.
