Casey Rooney

I am a dedicated and versatile graphic designer and illustrator with a Bachelors of Design in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with College Honors. My expertise spans various design disciplines, including graphic design, animation, and social media management. I have worked in advertising, healthcare, technology, startup private business and educational sectors. What sets me apart from other designers is my unique blend of technical proficiency, artistic creativity, and a strong commitment to teaching and nurturing creative talents.
