Marc Oldham.
Experience / Bio
From working at small print shop during college at Hussian School of Art, to the many different creative teams I’ve been a part of throughout my career, I’ve gained a wealth of experience in traditional and digital design — allowing me to experience and embrace the paradigm shift from an analog to digital workflow.
My career includes roles as a Graphic Designer and Digital Imaging Specialist at Hone Studio, Senior Graphic Designer at LA Weight Loss, Director of Interactive Communications at Booth Bay Creative, and Creative Lead at Media Proper.
With a focus on brand identities and visual communications, I have a drive for learning new technology, designing original concepts, and developing intuitive user experiences.
