In My Own Words

Oh, hi! My name is English (yes, really!). I'm a Graphic Designer & Visual Artist located in Norwalk, CT.

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! :)
