About

Koskinen Creative, Columbus, OH - is the award-winning freelance agency brain-child of graphic designer, copywriter and aspiring entrepreneur, Holly Koskinen.

Koskinen attended Columbus College of Art & Design, in 2000, on a $30,000 Dean Scholarship where she set forth to pursue her love for the arts. She obtained Dean's List Honors throughout her entire 4 years at CCAD and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Advertising & Graphic Design as well as a Minor Degree in Writing.

Koskinen recently claimed her first prestigious award as a winner in the 2011 American Graphic Design Awards. This award was given to the Top 15% out of over 8,000+ entries.

Koskinen has worked full-time in her industry upon graduation with clients such as GE, Sony, Maytag, Whirlpool and other prominent electronics/appliance brands as well as The Ohio Roller Girls, Northwest Title, Lane Avenue Chiropractic, TIA Services, Phia Salon/AVEDA, Intellivite, Bodega, Hetuck Clothing, The Ohio State University, Open Sky Day Spa and The March of Dimes, etc.

Holly recently accepted a position as an Art Director for The Ryan Partnership which she will start in October 2011.

Koskinen Creative specializes in all areas of Print, Apparel, Web, Marketing, PR, Events, Copywriting, Social Media, Illustration, etc.

Holly lives in Columbus, with her cat Bebe, a house plant and her Power Mac G5. When not working, she is dying to learn how to spin electro-house and get back on a 4-wheeler. In August, she passed her motorcycle exam and now is the proud owner of a green 2003 Ninja 250. She also enjoys spending time roller skating, dancing, hanging with friends and enjoying worldly cuisine…not all at the same time however.
