Art Director, Marketing Director. Futura markets, distributes and services a suite of prepaid debit card products, nationwide to consumers, specifically the underbanked (with a stronger focus on the African-American and Hispanic markets). There are also images you can click on that will show Futura's old materials before I arrived and what was created while I was there.
