Broadway and Film Key Art

About

As a graphic designer at Passage, I worked on a variety of projects and clients, including Studio Ghibli, MTV, GKIDS Films, SERINO/COYNE, SpotCo, and Yale Repertory Theatre. The job included researching, conceptualizing, sketching, and of course designing key art concepts for various film, TV, and Broadway productions.
