Kendell Warner

Designer eager to create.

Moving from New York in Sept. I've come to Kansas with one thing on my mind: The Balance of Collaboration. I'm currently working at John Deere as an Advertising Designer. Interesting job to say the least but it is a contract job and I am seeking something Full-Time.
