About Ethan Palowitz

As Lead Athletics Graphic Designer for Youngstown State University Athletics, I create high-quality graphics for social media, recruitment, and recognition for all sports. I am actively engaged with the athletic administrative staff, coaches and players to understand their needs and create graphics that are personalized and eye-catching. I have worked with clients at all levels, including the NFL, NBA, BIG3, and MLB. I plan to keep elevating brands wherever I may work at in the future, and I pride myself on my ability to stay flexible, but determined in all that I do. With 4 years of experience in college athletics, I have reached over 1.4 million impressions across all platforms, and look forward to increasing this number. I am currently an Honors student at Youngstown State University pursuing a degree in Multimedia Communications with a minor in marketing. I am working on mastering my social media and business skills while actively volunteering in the community. I take pride in helping others, and enjoy being a part of a team with the same goals.
