Michael Hall

Senior Designer Accenture Interactive

Seattle, WA, USA
I'm a currently employed graphic designer with more than two years of experience in outdoor advertising, and 4 years of part time work while I was earning my BFA in Graphic Design at Lawrence Tech. I have a strong interest in branding, web design, and plenty of experience in advertisement. As a designer I really enjoy the challenge and opportunity to work on something new to my current skill set, and while I'm working full time I also freelance to broaden my work and knowledge of graphic design and other industries.
