MULTIMEDIA DESIGNER · KODIAK DESIGN COMPANY
After completing my first design internship in 2012 I began taking on freelance clients while I finished my studies. In 2020, I launched Kodiak as a way to showcase my body
of work and as a tool to continue to pursue passion projects. I have worked on a
number of contracts varying in length and team size - sometimes operating as a one
man team and sometimes delegating work to assistants and other freelancers.
