Independent DesignerScott HeadHouston, TXJan 2010 - Present (14 years 10 months)Adjusting to dual careers to accommodate a mid-life call to ministry, I've kept my love for creative work well-practiced by freelance work and contract projects. Much of this work has been with companies and people I have worked for over the last twenty years. I've functioned chiefly as an art director, consultant, and UX designer on multi-year projects, as well as simple and enjoyable brief tasks.
