In my own words

English

<p>Oh, hi! My name is English (yes, really!). I'm a Graphic Designer &amp; Visual Artist located in Norwalk, CT. With over 10 years of in-house design experience and an affinity for start-up environments - I like to think of myself as a Swiss army knife of a designer. If it's a marketing creative need, I've definitely had my hands on it! My favorite projects include storytelling, illustration, brand identity, and animation. Let's collaborate! :)</p>
