Occupation	Graphic Designer
Location	Kansas City, MO, United States
Introduction	Hi, I'm Dana. I am a graphic designer with a background in editorial design and advertising. I am passionate about typography, conceptual solutions, and branding across mediums. Rather than specializing in one thing, my design experience has led me to learn a little about a lot, including newspaper, promotions, magazine, photography, package design, advertising and most recently web design. My combined knowledge of different styles of communication gives me an edge in the design process that's tough to beat! When I'm not being creative, I'm trying a new restaurant, traveling, bicycling, or going to concerts. I am also obsessed with Mid Century Modern furniture, and, thanks to having once worked for a makeup artist, keeping up with the beauty industry.
