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.

As of now, I’m currently working at Middlesex Community College as an adjunct instructor teaching “Social Media for Visual Design”, which teaches students how to create campaigns that contain strong visual storytelling using specific design choices.
