About Pascalle
Graduating with a BFA in Graphic Design from Indiana University, Pascalle has been solving creative challenges from a very early age. They can spot a typo a mile away, an unclosed div in their sleep, and are exceedingly at home in the Adobe Creative Suite.
In addition to being an art director, designer, published illustrator, and costumer, Pascalle brings a multi-dimensional approach to any design challenge, offering unique perspectives and visual solutions. Experience directing photoshoots, leading creative teams, and teaching sewing classes are great examples of their leadership abilities and initiative. HTML/Bootstrap responsive protyping rounds out the skillset, with six years' experience creating pages from scratch, or via Wordpress.
What spare time is left is spent walking the Break Reminder Beast, practicing sword combat for SCA, and gardening.
