KIM ANDERSON
DIGITAL DESIGNER
I am a multidisciplinary designer and artist in Portland, Oregon and received my BFA in Animation & Illustration from San Jose State University. I dip my toes into a bit of everything to do with art and design and have recently been educating myself in User Experience. I have come full circle in my interests from a fine art background focused on the visuals to the more cerebral and technical problem solving of digital design and am currently looking for a position that merges these two passions together.
