    paper Mason, technologies marketing consultantion

    Mason Technologies was experiencing issues with their booth posters and overall design for an upcoming trade show, so they brought me in as an external consultant to support their marketing and design teams. I redesigned their materials, and when they attended the event, they used the assets I created. They were very pleased with the results, and it gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my capabilities across design, creativity, and marketing.
