About Me
Hello, I'm Ken E. Salvage, a Visual Communication Specialist with over 15 years of experience in design, writing, and media. I specialize in creating compelling visual narratives, clear user-focused documentation, and engaging digital solutions. My expertise spans graphic design, web design, digital marketing, technical illustration, content creation, content strategy, and brand development, ensuring that complex ideas are communicated effectively and aesthetically.
My work bridges the gap between design and communication, helping brands and organizations tell their stories visually while maintaining clarity and consistency across various platforms. Whether through technical illustrations, UX/UI documentation, or interactive media, I bring a strategic and design-oriented approach to content creation.
AI as an Enhancement
In addition to my visual communication expertise, I leverage AI to enhance efficiency, streamline workflows, and optimize content creation. My knowledge of AI-driven tools allows me to analyze, understand, and apply new information in real time, integrating these insights into projects for maximum impact.
AI is a powerful tool that complements my work, enabling rapid prototyping, data visualization, and automation of repetitive tasks. By staying ahead of emerging technologies, I help organizations implement AI-enhanced solutions that drive innovation while maintaining a strong visual and strategic foundation.
Professional Experience
Specifications Writer
I recently led a small team of detailers that created detailed CAD drawing packages for architectural signage projects across the United States. By incorporating AI tools like ChatGPT, I significantly improved productivity and accuracy, particularly in administrative tasks such as code research, which allowed me to dedicate more time to complex problem‑solving.
Notable Achievements
One of my most notable achievements is the development of a custom Color, Paint, and Materials Matching application, created with the help of Cursor AI and ChatGPT. This application enabled users to cross‑reference colors, paints, and materials to find the perfect match for their projects. I regularly used this tool to save time and ensure accuracy.
Freelance Graphic Designer
I have worked as a freelance graphic designer for seven years, collaborating with clients in and around the Houston area. My experience includes digital and web design, wayfinding and floor plan design, branding, and creating marketing materials.
