My name is Joanna Belding, I am a recent graduate of the the Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester, New York, and recieved a BFA in New Media Design and Imaging, a curriculum that combines motion graphics with web design and development. I am currently a freelance designer in New York, NY.
I am seeking a full-time position in the area of interactive, web,or motion design. I hope to begin my career in a place where I'm not only surrounded by talented people, but by those who I can continue learning from.
I enjoy designing for Flash websites and I have a deep interest in engaging, interactive campaigns that take advertising and marketing to a new and non-traditional level. Aside from cool websites, I love environments, installations, touch-screen displays, product design, and other interactive media. As a designer, working collaboratively with developers and others with diverse areas of expertise is what I most enjoy doing. Get in touch with me if you like what you see. Or if I might be the right fit for you. Even if you’re not hiring, I’d still love to see what you do!
