Pewamo-Westphalia High School Visits MessageMakers!

Pewamo-Westphalia High School came to visit MessageMakers to take a tour of our office, network with us, eat pizza and get some feedback on their PSA short films that they made in groups!

Here’s a quick look at our graphic designer…

Devin Gordon, our graphic designer here at MessageMakers, attended Grand Valley State University and majored in graphic design. His inspiration to pursue design came from his brother, who majored in it before him.
