Some people say content is king. I believe now more than ever, that communication is king! Your content sends a message... so, what message are you sending?

My name is
Sean Michael Owen

I know how to communicate, collaborate, and create with people from diverse backgrounds and who aren’t always tech savvy.

I’ve been a graphic designer, web designer, content creator, digital marketer, media maker, artist, communications & marketing director, event planner & coordinator, educator, “A/V Guy”, and innovative problem solver.

While I’m entrepreneurial by nature, I love working, creating, and discovering with others.

Most of my engagements have required me to learn how to speak the “languages” of diverse collection of clients and employers, ensuring they understand how to implement the strategies I have developed for them.

Brief Bio

I built my first public website when I was 8 years-old and am largely self-taught in a variety of fields and computer-related topics.

 

I’ve run a successful freelance graphic design, web design, and consulting agency as a “side hustle” that I started as a teenager to make spare income.

 

In my time as a freelance consultant, I’ve worked for: comic book artists and publishers, non-profit organizations, investment and holding companies, real estate agents, digital artists, and digital media companies; consistently working with their teams to develop creative solutions to either help them promote themselves or solve complex and unique problems.

 

In my spare time, I enjoy workshopping with other entrepreneurs and creatives, cosplay, volunteering, cardio, singing, playing D&D with friends, working on personal “world-building” projects, and self-educating.
