Dan Alvidrez’s Summary
There are two kinds of designers: Those who control, and those who interpret. You are the author, I am the interpreter. Effective communication presented through new and rich media experiences is my speciality.
I've designed for a fortune 500 company that led me to India to work directly with an Indian outsourcing firm. I've donated my time to startups and helped small businesses establish an online presence. No-matter the challenge I'm up to it.
