Portfolio Center Blog Portfolio Center Blog: Advertising & Fine Art Industry Expert Myra Mazzei
Myra M. Mazzei has worked in the advertising industry since graduating from the University of Missouri, School of Journalism in 2000. Her portfolio has grown in depth and breadth as she moved between integrated, full-service, digital and traditional agencies. Her resume includes Upshot, Digitas, Leo Burnett and currently Element 79.
