Lucious Smith’s Summary

With past experience at CNN International, focusing predominately on motion design and internal branding initiatives, I've been designing 5+ years (clients ranging from WNBA to Nobel Foundation to Skittles) with a nack for bringing business objectives and ideas to visual-fruition. Being a professional at problem solving strategies, I look to bridge business end objectives with their targeted audience and demographic via visual communication.
