Hello
My name is King Nguyen
Hello! I am a recent graduate from George Mason University with a B.A. in Graphic Design. I have over 10 years of experience with graphic design from my educations and work. I have held Graphic Design jobs at George Mason University and at Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC).
Aside from Graphic Design, I attend church regularly and have volunteered at church as well. I am the oldest of three siblings, and I'm trying to be a good role model for them. My mother is raising all four of us by herself. I hope that after I graduate from George Mason, I can find a job so I can become independent and help my family out.
