Mark Grambau’s Summary
I have worked in a variety of settings, including a small graphic design firm with large clients in New York City, a publishing company with a New York Times Bestseller, in a large scale insurance company as a Creative Services intern, and as a freelance poster designer. I would love to work freelance or in a movie, animation, or game production company. I am a character designer at heart, but consider myself well versed in various kinds of illustration.
