Hi there.
I'm Dena.
ABOUT
I have a passion and love for art and art history. I use traditional techniques to tackle creative problem-solving as an Art Director. I'm an INTJ (yup, I'm rare), and my effective communication style is a Thinker (task-oriented, deliberately spoken, and fair-minded).
I enjoy spending my free time getting paper cuts from books, placing the final piece of the puzzle, and solving problems with red string and a corkboard.
