Tammy Johnson M.A.M.

I am passionate about merging art with technology to craft graphic designs that not only inspire but also inform and captivate viewers. As a Senior Creative Manager at a prominent software company, I am dedicated to pushing creative boundaries and innovating within the field. Beyond my professional endeavors, I find great fulfillment in imparting my design knowledge to others, serving as an adjunct professor and volunteer instructor. When I'm not immersed in design or teaching, you'll often find me on the golf course. While my game hasn't seen much improvement lately, the enjoyment and challenge it offers keep me coming back.
