Graphic Designer for Entertainment

I am an enthusiastic team member seeking work as a lead graphic designer on an indie film or an established tv or streaming series. On a new series, I would be an asset as a second graphic designer, assisting the lead with creating graphics for set. Much of my past experience lies in the publishing and music fields designing world renowned children’s book series, marketing materials, logos and cd packaging.
