Willie Williams
Graphic Designer Read BioWillie Williams
Graphic DesignerI like that there is always something to do. If design is completed, there's usually production to be done. The
workday goes by fast. My role contributes to the success of the store by setting up the art for our clients and ensuring the art gets into production promptly. The most challenging part of my job is coming up with new ways to spice up the custom renderings when assisting sales.
I enjoy doing art--charcoal, colored pencils, painting, etc. Occasionally, I enjoy video games when I'm not busy. I also like to cook. -
