Biography

What do I do here at Seattle University:

Yosef crafts and directs a visual narrative that captures Seattle U’s story and supports the university’s core values, branding, reputation ideals and educational experience. This includes visuals for top-tear marketing and advertising materials representing all Seattle U schools/colleges, admissions, athletics, and internal departments. You can find much of his work on the online Marketing Imagery archive he recently built at seattleuniversity.photoshelter.com.

Favorite vacation spot:

Yosemite National Park, the North Shore of Hawaii or pretty much anywhere in Ghana. Ghana is such a beautiful country. And as a lover of the outdoors, camping with breath taking views in the Sierra Nevada’s or on the beaches in Hawaii is hard to beat.

Favorite Quotation:

“Our greatest satisfaction in life comes in our trying and not in the results. “

Favorite Sports Team:

Seattle Super Sonics
