Nice to Meet You!
My name is Matt Marinosci, and I am a designer (that's me in the background there đź‘»).
I've been working in the design field since 2011, where I started by creating logos for student start-ups, and posters for dorm events. I attended Northern Illinois University, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communication. I gravitated towards the UI, and web design fields, quickly refining the skills necessary to design websites, and entire platforms.
I thoroughly enjoy design work. Especially speaking with clients, and lending them my imagination to help their vision become a reality. Professionally I'm always striving to improve. I'm always looking for opportunities where I can take all my different skills and use them at once. I don't want to be just a graphic designer, or an illustrator, or a digital marketer. I want to be creative​​​​​​​ and thoughtful. If you have an opportunity like that, I'm interested.
