Bio
My name is Finneas Button, and I am an artist and graphic designer.
I am looking for a career at a graphic design firm and freelancing on the side.
I am deeply passionate about sociopolitical issues and human rights. My community and identity inspire me.
I breathe in the world and my community, and I exhale art.
