Dani Gudowski's Résumé
ABOUT ME
I am a graphic designer. I treat every project as an opportunity for great creative, I love learning new things and love being challenged. I earned my BFA in Graphic Design at the College for Creative Studies, a rigorous design curriculum based in art history and design research. I have 5 years of experience in print and some web/interactive design. Basically I would love to work with an enthusiastic group of design nerds.
