About.

JOSEPH SAUSAMAN

With over a decade of experience as a marketing and art director, I have found it is vital to take advantage of every opportunity to learn, develop and grow the skills needed to perpetuate my success. Beautifully simple, engaging visuals get the job done – clear thinking, made visual. I pride myself on efficiency and attention to detail. There is nothing more rewarding than bringing my thoughts to life through design and seeing it utilized in the real world.

Experience.

GREAT DESIGN MATTERS.
