hello!

let me tell you a bit more about myself

My name is Danny Menlove and I’ve been working with graphic design and photography since middle school. My work was first published at age 15, so I’ve recently reached 22 years of working experience in the field. I’m a versatile graphic artist and photographer with great time management skills and an even better attitude. My designs, photography and friendly demeanor have helped Gannett, Lee Enterprises & TMD Management Group maintain and obtain countless clients over the course of my career. Securing me on your team is a surefire way to add great positive and creative energy in any department. My abilities in Photoshop and InDesign are so strong that I am the first person my peers turn to when they hit a snag. I am also quite savvy in Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver. Go ahead and browse around to check out some of my work.
