About me
Hey! I'm Robert Bailey a Seattle-based digital media designer.
I've developed a strong attention to detail over years of schooling in Digital Media Arts, 3D, & Fine Arts, including over 5 years of work in various professional technical industries while working to communicate the designs of my clients as a designer producing content for UX/UI design, visual design, interaction design, motion graphics, and web design.
Through this, I've acquired an excellent understanding of the design process, principles, tools & methodologies; like typography, designing with responsive grids, storyboarding, mock-ups, asset production (SVG, PNG, JEPG, etc.), and adherence to a style guide to name a few.
As a designer, it's my mission to communicate ideas, ask questions, and find creative solutions that serve the needs of all people.
