Raquel B. Saltsman, Graphic designer, project manager in Washington, DC

About

Seeking a great company or organization that I can add value to by creating innovative design in a variety of medias. I enjoy managing a project "cradle to grave" as well as working side-by-side with other creative and programming talent. Further, I seek out input from my clients with non-creative backgrounds, specifically to better inform the goal of the project and end result.
