PATRICK ELIE PIERRE
A long time gamer who went from watching and playing to designing and creating. The drastic change came when I realized that I craved the knowledge of how things were created behind the scenes in films, entertainment, and games. Then came the shift in interest. I began nit picking at every detail; from color, to design principles, to even coming up with entirely new ideas of how the content could communicate better and inform its targeted viewers. My perspective of the art and design realm became synonymous with the endless thoughts I had of how I could better it myself. Turning flat surfaces, random objects, and abstract shapes into items of immeasurable possibilities. My world became a giant canvas ready to be transformed into all forms of compelling and awesome pieces of art.
RESUME
I have very strong interpersonal skills, a positive attitude and the ability to thrive in a challenging, fast-paced creative environment. Excellent writing and verbal communication skills. Skilled in art, graphic design, typography, and multimedia. Strong editing and proofreading skills and also an expert in building trust and confidence in clients.
