Bryan Mazzarello’s Summary
I am a graphic designer specializing in web design and identity packages for small business and non-profits. I have experience as the Art Director for a successful start up dot com as well as over 5 years working as an internal web designer in higher education. I have also been an adjunct art professor at the university level.
I have worked in 3 major metropolitan areas along the Pacific Rim, from Southern California, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle.
My wife and I took our freelance design business (Mazzarello Media and Arts) full time in early 2009 and are currently looking for long term design relationships with well matched clients who are looking for dependable custom design work, but can't afford an internal design team. We might just be the right fit.

Bryan Mazzarello’s Experience
-
Creative Director
Mazzarello Media and Arts
(Design industry)
May 2000 — Present (9 years 3 months)
We are a West Coast family company dedicated to "multimedia and design for the little guys". Our hopes have been, and continue to be, that we can create new and innovative ideas for companies, non-profits and artists that are doing something they believe in and love.
We created Mazzarello Media and Arts with a passion for excellent design, useful websites and a desire to work for ourselves. We are experienced in creating and innovating from print to web to video, you name it we've done it.
We care very deeply for social justice and environmental issues, which weigh heavily in the decisions we make from the ink and paper we use to the non-profits we support. We hope that our passions can extend to you...and we look forward to finding out what you have to share with us. -
