Doug Howell
I've always been drawn to the creative industry — there's nothing like watching an idea become a finished product.
I'm currently part of the team behind a 24/7 news network, where we built the brand from the ground up: developing the network ID, shaping the on-air look, designing six studios across Chicago, New York, and DC, and creating news graphics and franchise content for the shows, as well as in-house documentaries.
Whether I'm collaborating with a team or working independently, I find real fulfillment in the creative process — from concept to completion. I'm always learning, always building, and always looking for new skills to bring into the work
