BIO
Greetings! My name is Addie Sherman. I am a creative and ambitious designer with experience in website design, social media campaigns, project branding, photography, infographics and printed promotional design. As a visual learner I use any opportunity to translate a great idea into a compelling graphic. I have included some highlights of my work and have more available upon request.
I am inspired by the seemingly mundane I encounter in my daily life. I am always looking for ways to incorporate the photo of weird, pink, fuzzy mold I found growing on the black beans in my fridge or the astonishing bumper stickers I find living in the south. I enjoy combining these pictures in to digital collages and walking my dog, Sammy.
