Joshua Smith’s Experience

• Creative Director + Owner

  Hydro74 Design Studio LLC (Sole Proprietorship)

  (Sole Proprietorship; 1-10 employees; Arts and Crafts industry)

  January 1994 — Present (15 years 7 months)

  I've been involved in design in one form or another since 1994 when I first started doing editorial cartoon work for School Newspapers. Since then I've refined my skill with a high understanding that is there is form to function and freewill to understanding. I take a high passion in what I do and develop and I desire my work to show this.
  
  Hydro74 is a company that offers creative solutions for the more progressive minds and companies in the industry.

Joshua Smith’s Education

• Hard Knox

  Nope , Self taught Drop out. , 1994 — 2012 (expected)

  I did got to college for 4 years, however dropped out due to the cost vs. what I was actually learning. There was no point in dropping 20 grand for pointless classes that wouldn't assist in getting me to where I am at in my career. However it was fun, but not worth it.

• Bethel College

  1994 — 2001
