About Paul Hansen
30 years of professional experience in print and digital desktop publishing and illustration across a large variety of programs and platforms.
I am flexible. Flexible in the types of jobs I enjoy, the people I like to work with, and the locales that I work and live in. I enjoy travel for work and for pleasure, enjoying the new experiences it brings me. After 2 years working in Seattle as a graphic designer I moved to Japan and spent the next 15 years of my life working both as a graphic designer for one of the top 3 ad agencies (Asatsu DK). And because I slam the door open every time opportunity knocks, I also spent 3 of those years there as a video game Journalist, then 10 as automative photojournalist for several overseas magazines. I made the move back to the States to be the managing director of the US operations for a automotive aftermarket parts manufacturer. My next opportunity was with Amazon as a visual designer, QA, and designer manager for nearly 4 years.
