Summary
Task oriented problem solver with ten years of experience managing projects in credit marketing services at Equifax. Have worked both in data processing with project fulfillment as well as consulting directly with customers gathering their requirements.
Left Atlanta four years ago and have taken an extended career break from project management while traveling and concentrating on growing my business as a visual artist.
Always interested in discussing new opportunities in either field. On the project management side of the house, I am especially interested in non-profits or challenging positions where I can grow new skills. On the visual artist side, I primarily work on marketing my art prints through multiple venues. I am open to new opportunities to get my work in front of people, such as licensing or working with interior designers and art consultants.
Specialties: High Volume Data Processing, Rudimentary Programming, Process Analysis, and Customer Consultation.
Experience

Mark Tisdale Photography
Public Company; Myself Only; Photography industry
January 2008 – Present (5 years 5 months)
Self taught photographer and visual artist. I've spent nearly a decade now finding my own voice as an artist. Much of my artwork is based on my travels, but I've also learned that with a trained eye I can find beautiful images in most settings. It doesn't have to be a thousand year old temple to be interesting to the viewer!
Prints of my work are in homes and commercial spaces literally around the world. This has been my full-time profession for four years now.
In that time, I have had the opportunity to license my work for advertising and interior design projects.
I've become self-proficient in the use of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, and have learned the ropes with Wordpress and some basic CSS design for my own websites.
