Mary Pagone

Creative Director • Illustrator • Graphic Designer — Los Angeles, CA

About

I am currently available for interviews, freelance and seeking a full time position in a creative environment. Equipped with design abilities, both traditional and digital, I am a 'can do' Creative who can take an idea from seed to final bloom.Whether working alone or directing a team, I am hands - on from the first steps to the finished concept. I roll up my sleeves with my team; we hit the floor running. I thrive with open minds and bones that aren’t lazy. I believe that one should lead by example; egos are left at the door, communication and respect flow evenly and freely. Enthusiasm, passion and a dash of humor is an essential combination to create compelling design.
I am proficient in expressing ideas into engaging art through many mediums. My career has allowed me to build skill sets in Illustration, Design for Print, New Media, Branding, Product Conceptualization and Packaging. I have extensive experience working in LA's entertainment and branding industries and I strive to achieve continued success in a creative environment.
