Josh Nance: Graphic Designer / Illustrator

I love to create!  With experience in graphic, illustrative, web, and industrial design,
I maintain a healthy balance between functionality and visual impact in all of my work.
My attention to detail is one of my greatest attributes throughout the creative process.
My upbeat attitude is definitely conveyed through my work
as it reflects positivity, boldness, and confidence.
