about me / resume / contact
hi, i'm Dan Hunter.
Gaining industry experience ever since I discovered a love for graphic design, I am a well-rounded designer who excels with logos, branding, and packaging design.
Currently I am employed as a Graphic Designer, working remotely for Marketing By Design, a design agency based in Beverly, MA, USA that works mostly with packaging design. This is the majority of the work that I do for them, though brand guidelines and aesthetics are always in consideration. Rarely, projects will involve some branding and logo design.
My prior industry experience includes my internship with Horizon Healthcare Partners (Providence, RI), client work in collaboration with my university for the Rhode Island Brewer's Guild (Wakefield, RI) and the Johnson & Wales College of Food Innovation & Technology (Providence, RI), and independent work for Acme Monaco (New Britain, CT) and NESMA (Bristol, CT). Each of these involved a variety of design deliverables.
I received my invaluable design education at Johnson & Wales University, from which I graduated with a 3.22 GPA. The graphic design program there allowed me to learn the softwares, practices, and principles involved with the industry, while also gaining industry-relevant experience through project-based work and classes that work with real-world clients on real-world projects. At university, I was also a member of Tau Epsilon Phi, of which I was an executive board member and head chair of the design committee.
soft skills
PROBLEM SOLVER: I believe graphic design is solving problems through the use of visuals. I aim to see past just what looks good, and actually research, apply psychology, and consider the brand and audience to create quality products.
COMMUNICATION: In my prior experience with engineering, I have learned how to communicate information in a concise, efficient manner, to limit any confusion. This has aided me to effectively communicate with clients, especially via email.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: I manage my emotions quite well, and I am understanding and mediative. I can help others with issues by providing a grounded, neutral approach to thinking and actions, so I can be a healthy part to any team.
more about me
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, surfing, snowboarding, golfing, watching football, going to the beach, playing video games, and creating designs. I like to listen to different kinds of music, but mostly reggae, rock, and rap.
I have a positive outlook on life and don't let things get me down for long. I'm grateful that I discovered graphic design in a world where not everyone can find a job they are passionate about, and I'm motivated to do the best work that I can to for both me and my clients, and help people with my skills.
