INTERACTIVE VISUAL DESIGNER  — Los Angeles, CA

About

I have a long history of involvement with creative design, visual communication and interactive multimedia. My recent experience is with interactive design: UI | UX.

As an Interactive Visual Designer I'm involved with the look and functionality aspects of project development. One reason I particularly enjoy this work is for the opportunity to connect the design with the user experience. I'm passionate about work with the practical application and reach to impact people in their daily lives and to truly make a difference.

I'm looking to join a talented team, where innovation is key, a company with global reach yet individual impact.
