Sophie Blumenthal

Falls Church, VA, USA
From packaging, environmental design, publications and more, my college education gave me the experience, knowledge and drive to succeed in the field of graphic design. From my upbringing in some of the major art centers of Europe, I acquired knowledge and developed a sense of adventure, which I aspire to make visible in every effort, whether in my professional life or personal endeavors. I have always felt that travel and contact with the exotic nurtures my designs. If I can manage to combine both, then I feel I will have found the perfect package. Every day I am driven by my imagination, which I hope can be seen in each of my creative efforts. I am looking for a work environment that will permit me to flourish as a creative person as well as move forward in my career.
