About Me

Name: Eric Saar

Location: Binghamton, New York, United States

I have worked as a Graphic Designer/ Graphics Systems Coordinator for Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York for the past 18 years. With a BA in Graphic Design from Rochester Institute of Technology and over 20 years of experience in the graphic design field, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my freelance business, Eyedeas Design. Eyedeas Design creates brochures, posters, promotionals, identity logos, web pages and other multimedia presentations from conceptualization to completion. Besides working full time at Security Mutual, and managing my own business, I am also an adjunct professor at SUNY Broome, where I have taught Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, and DreamWeaver for the past 9 years. Once every six months or so I also conduct graphic SIGs (Special Interest Group workshops) for students, teachers, and other business professionals who are interested in learning more about using the Adobe Creative Suite software. I have been a member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) for over 10 years. I am also a member of CAST (Communication Association of the Southern Tier) and IFCA (Insurance & Financial Communicators Association).
