A Little Bit About Myself

Dan Burns profile

Sláinte!

I am a congenial, creative thinker. I have worked with U.S. as well as global clients to develop distinctive and engaging communication solutions. I am a clear, confident conveyor of ideas. I am experienced interacting with business owners as well as leading project teams. I embrace new technology and adapt well to change. I enjoy teaching others and exchanging knowledge with peers.

During my career, I have worked at creative firms and in-house creative departments located in Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio; and Charlotte, North Carolina where I performed in many different roles such as art director, graphic designer, website coder, animator, illustrator, photographer, videographer and video editor. These experiences have provided me with a enhanced understanding of the knowledge, skills, tools and time that are required to deliver engaging multidimensional communication solutions.

In my free time, I enjoy biking and hiking the foothills of Western North Carolina with family and friends.
