Hello! My name is Sal Bolaños and I am 25 year old designer specializing in Web/Mobile, Print, Photography, Art Direction, Social Media, and Marketing. I was born in East Chicago, Indiana but my home for now is right smack in the downtown area of Chicago. I love traveling and exploring different areas in my field and of course outside of it so if you are feeling bored and want me to spice up your life through design and art drop me an email for quotes, questions, or just to say hi! Thanks for checking out my portfolio. Check out more of material on Facebook and on Pinterst.
E-mail me anytime sb@salbolanosdesign.com
OBJECTIVE
To obtain a position in which I can thrive by using my skills and experiences to help positively impact a company in a creative way. I want to apply my knowledge and passions to an environment where they will make a significant impact on the bottom line. The ideal atmosphere would be one in which new ideas are welcome, decision making is required, and a place where art can be made from scratch and brought to life..
