Stephen Cannarelli
New York, NY, USAThanks for checking out my profile. Here's a quick outline of what I do.
Lead a talented design team with a diverse range of skill sets.
Create better ways for businesses to connect with customers.
Design functional, easy to use digital experiences and compelling print work.
Research design and development trends such as responsive web design and Agile design methodologies.
Identify branding/communication problems and fix them, or even better, look for new communication opportunities and make them happen.
Identify studio workflow problems and implement new systems and processes to increase efficiency.
Write clear and succinct marketing copy that communicates quickly and compellingly.
If ya got a few more seconds, here's just a little bit about me.
I grew up in central New York state, went to school in the midwest (see "Hi y'all!" above) and moved to New York where I have been practicing design professionally for the past 10+ years. In 2012 I received a Master's Degree with honors in Communication Design from Pratt Institute's School of Art and Design. In a previous life I was a semi-professional musician. In my current life, I'm a full-time designer, amateur musician, chef, photographer and an avid runner. As a rule I don't dance and all parties are well advised that I not have to prove that claim. In spite of this, I'm continually struck by the similarities in music, design, and virtually all creative work.
