I Do
Are you looking to create a logo, establish a brand, or revamp an existing brand?
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.
