Courtney Morgenstern

Grand Rapids, MI, USAHello, my name is Courtney. I am a detail oriented person who blossoms in creative environments. I have the ability to conceptualize and think visually and am able to work alone or in a team of other creatives. I have an extensive understanding of design and illustration and my technical skills enable me to apply my knowledge to many projects. I love the challenge of design and as a result I strive to produce the best possible solution. My work is not complete until I have shaped and molded the design to meet all needs.
