Emmanuel L Hightower
Emmanuel leads with a creative perspective and vision to inspire the world. After earning his graphic design degree from Morgan State University in 2010, he began his now decade-long tenure in the Creative Services field. His experiences range from building and leading design teams for start-up companies to elevating creative teams in established corporations. Most recently, his passion for branding and boutique customer service has attracted several business owners and organizations desiring to establish and grow their brand identity. He has spearheaded a wide variety of projects (brand identity, print, multi-media, and interactive) that require cross-functional collaboration, teamwork, and exceptional interpersonal and communication skills. He also invests time in building the next generation of visionaries and creatives by guest lecturing at local universities and business accelerator programs.
