I can’t thank you enough. hilary phillips2024-07-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marcus is a true professional graphic design artist. He created my boyfriend's logo for his YouTube channel and when we started using the logo, his channel grew ten fold. Marcus was able to create a logo that we loved with minimal direction from our end, he just knows what works and what looks great. His font choice, his color choices, his imaging, ALL spot on. He took time to research his Youtube channel and created something that truly elevated our brand. The logo prints great on the merch and the followers of the channel started requesting shirts immediately! In working with other agencies on branding at my job, I can tell you through experience, don't waste your time with anyone else. Marcus Hardaway is your man! Thanks Marcus!

Every Child is An Artist, The problem is Staying an Artist When you Grow up.
My journey began as a traditional artist, honing an eye for color, composition, and storytelling through hands-on creativity. When technology entered the picture, I embraced it as a new frontier, merging my artistic foundation with digital tools to expand into graphic design, print media, and market- ing concepts. Over time, I deepened my expertise in both the technical and psychological aspects of design—studying how visuals influence decisions, drive engagement, and amplify brand messaging. Today, I specialize in bridging tactile craftsmanship with digital innovation, delivering solutions that resonate across mediums, from brochures and packaging to dynamic digital campaigns.
My evolution from studio artist to strategic designer has taught me one core truth: great design isn’t just aesthetic—it’s functional. Whether crafting a logo, a print ad, or a project marketing campaign, I balance creativity with practicality, ensuring every piece aligns with client goals and audience behavior.
To deliver **effective design that works**. I prioritize understanding your unique needs, audience, and market challenges to create visuals that solve problems, communicate clearly, and drive results. My focus spans print design, digital concepts, and project marketing—crafting cohesive materials like branded collateral, social media assets, and campaign visuals that reflect your identity and elevate your message.
Professionalism and collaboration are at the heart of my process. I combine strategic thinking with technical skill to ensure deadlines are met, budgets are respected, and expectations are not just fulfilled—they’re exceeded. Your success is my measure of achievement.
To become the designer clients return to—and refer to others—because of unmatched reliability, creativity, and impact. I aim to build long-term partnerships by consistently delivering work that surpasses goals, whether through a meticulously printed annual report, a digital ad that converts, or a marketing campaign that leaves a lasting impression.
As I grow, I strive to stay ahead of industry trends while staying grounded in timeless design principles. My vision is a thriving practice where trust, innovation, and client satisfaction fuel a cycle of creativity: the better I serve you, the more I can push boundaries, refine my craft, and elevate the value I bring to every project.

ABOUT ME
I specialize in logo design, corporate identity, packages design, branding, flyer design, banners design, booklet design, program design, packaging design, apparel design for screen print, strategic marketing, ad design, brochure design, photo editing, and various other graphic design. I am constantly learning new techniques and keeping up with the latest in design and marketing trends.
I am an illustrator. I work with various mediums; such as pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and pastel. My focus is still life, portraits, abstract, and freehand. I often incorporate my illustrations into my graphic design when possible.
