Adam Weiskind

Chicago, IL

About

My work spans from identities for non-profits to websites for brokerage firms, exhibits for museums to graphics and layout world-famous newspapers. In every assignment I kept a few things in mind: what is the best way to communicate the message? What is the clearest way to do it? What will make this piece shine?

My goal is to bring these ideas and my broad range of graphic design experiences to fruition by contributing in a multi-disciplinary design environment.

Experience:
10+ years
