About

Joshua McNamara Boston, MA

My name is Joshua McNamara, and I am a Graphic Designer/Animator/3d Artist based in Boston, Massachusetts.

I have an Associates in Graphic Design from Middlesex Community College, and am currently working towards a BFA in Animation from Lesley University.

As a Graphic Designer, I have a focus in Poster and Packaging Design, while my focus within Animation is 3D character animation/modeling. With my different set of skills, my goals can range between both mediums as I’d love to design merch/album designs within the music industry, but also want to be a part of a full feature length film.
