Mickie Warden
Art Director/Senior Graphic Designer

About

I’m a chameleon, seamlessly transitioning from one style to another and from one skill set to another. I have experience and training in many aspects of design and production, having worked in international ad agencies, a small production house, and an in-house agency.

I also have a passion for learning new things and do not hesitate to take on new responsibilities. For example, I taught myself Flash (now Animate) when my current employer wanted to bring high school presentations in-house. I was responsible for both the design and coding of the presentations. I created four presentations in a five month period due to my careful organization and time management skills.

I look forward to discussing with you how my skills can benefit your company.
