Amelia Bellows’s Summary
I'm a visual designer and art director with a peripatetic past in publications and newspapers, lots of marketing communications and programs, and web design. I've wandered up and down the East coast and happily landed in the sunshine of Northern California. These days, you can find me leading the fabulous team of visual designers in marketing over at WebEx. We design the website, as well as all kinds of marketing programs and communications. It's a continual challenge! Every day, I learn new things and have fun besides.
