Ned Yeung

With over 25 years of experience bridging the gap between creative vision and technical execution, I specialize in roles that require a seamless blend of graphic design, commercial photography, advanced media production, and emerging digital technologies. My career spans corporate enterprise, public service, and commercial agency environments, including work for organizations like Acklands-Grainger, the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE), and numerous national brands.

What sets me apart is that I don’t just design for the screen; I understand exactly how assets translate to final production, whether it's a 3,000-page print catalog, a multi-platform digital campaign, or a physical prototype produced through 3D printing. As an Adobe Certified Expert (A.C.E.) and Adobe Applications Instructor, I bring a master-level command of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere Pro, all of which I have taught professionally. I have a deep background managing complex pre-press workflows, web-to-print systems, and digital publishing, ensuring flawless technical execution alongside strict brand compliance.

I am also an accomplished commercial photographer and videographer. My imagery has driven national product catalogues, fashion campaigns, and broadcast media for brands such as Muscle Beach, Licor43, Souvenir Vodka, Westward Tools, and the Town of Legal. From directing studio shoots to deploying 360° camera systems for immersive digital experiences, I capture high-impact visuals that integrate perfectly into broader marketing frameworks.

My digital literacy includes proficiency in front-end web development (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and is supported by a Google IT Professional Certificate and Google Ads certifications, along with decades of hands-on computing experience across both Windows and Mac environments. I am passionate about continuously adopting new technologies and leveraging them to improve workflows, create engaging experiences, and deliver exceptional results.

In addition to my traditional design and media expertise, I have expanded my skill set into 3D design and fabrication, with experience creating and modifying 3D models in Blender and producing functional and creative projects through 3D printing. This capability allows me to move seamlessly between digital and physical design environments, opening new opportunities for product visualization, prototyping, custom fabrication, and innovative problem-solving.

My perfect score of 0 on the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Color Vision Test ensures exceptional color accuracy across print and digital media, while my ability to execute projects efficiently is complemented by a typing speed of over 90 words per minute.
