ABOUT ME
Hi! I am Joshua Beal and have been a Media Designer since 2007. My range of experience has included active-duty service in the US Army as a Multimedia Illustrator and executive level roles in agency and in-house settings. In addition, I teach courses at the post-secondary and graduate levels as a Professor of Design, which involves roles as a subject matter expert and chair of thesis committees.
I am a happy husband and dad to two amazing kids. When I am not working on design projects or teaching I enjoy outdoor recreation, especially kayaking and hikes, and building my homestead with my family.
