Garth

Garth is a do-it-all digital marketer/designer born and raised in the “City of Destiny,” Tacoma, Washington. He lives in Seattle, has a beard, enjoys pizza and coffee (not together) and tries to spread as much positivity as he can. He's at his best in a light, collaborative environment; he's at my worst when losing at Scrabble. Above all, he's always looking for ways to grow his brain.

Formerly the community manager for AmazonSmile and digital marketing manager at DRY Soda; he can now be found doing freelance graphic design, social media and marketing consultation.
