I have a strong passion and drive for art and design and strive to keep my personal life as creative as my professional life. As for my creative approach—whether digital or traditional––I always research my competitors or similar projects to get inspired. Then I use my knowledge of current design trends, application of branding if needed, and create a multitude of design options for review. I like to provide a range starting from “safe” design, to out-of-the-box creative. From there I will finesse and find solutions that are not only contemporary, they are unique and appealing to the eye. Check out my portfolio at www.hellocory.com
