About me

I’ve always gravitated towards roles and projects that allow me train, implement and further comprehend my creative skills. I enjoy working in teams to confer and discuss and also thrive when I need to multi task and complete a project before a deadline. Deep diving and seeking out exceptional and innovative marketing and branding campaigns is a hobby I revel in as It inspires me and drives my work in generating creative campaign concepts. With several moves in the last decade, I found more stability working on projects outside an office. Please see my website at www.marooncreates.com
