About me
Seven years ago I moved from California to Spain begin a new life from scratch. The amount of change that I have gone through, and hard work to achieve success and raise a family here in Spain have taught me that passion and challenge are two very important aspects of my life.
What I offer is 5+ years experience as a contracted graphic designer. For close to three years I was director of design at a company that made technology for the elderly, disabled, and technophobic. Our philosophy was to make products that were intuitive, usable, and accessible.
As a graphic design consultant, I have been making projects for different companies in Spain and California for over seven years.
I have a degree in Art Studio, also known as the Fine Arts, from the University of California Davis Most importantly however, I have a lifetime of passion for art and design.
I would love to find out whether I could earn the opportunity to work with your team.
Hope to hear from you,
John Bell
