Hi, my name is Elizabeth Curl (Curl for short). I am an expert in designing integrated campaigns for major brands that generate optimization. I’ve been doing this for the last 15 years and thrive in environments that are open to big ideas and innovation. I’m an empathetic leader and pride myself on my ability to connect with my team and foster growth and their individual creative interests. Inclusive design and accessibility are causes which I am passionate about.
I’m currently available for freelance, consulting, or full time opportunities. Let’s connect!
