# Lawrence Wong > Creative Director at Lawrence Wong Designs Location: Oakland, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/lawrencewong Since 2009, I have applied my keen eye for detail to a singular design mission: going back to the basics so the necessary may speak.With the assistance of the Adobe Creative Suite — particularly: Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, and After Effects — I can visually convey a solution through different mediums.
