Visual Communication
A selection of logo illustrations I have made
Graphic design jobs can take a variety of forms. This example contract is for a branding package and it clearly reflects my approach to design work.
My system involves extensive research on the topic before any visual elements begin. I am an adept researcher and learning about new subjects is one of the main reasons I enjoy my work. Without deep understanding of your business, a logo design is simple a pretty picture.
My result is a design that fits your values.
I have worked on a variety of projects and each one has been different. I am eager to hear how I can create your vision.
I invite you to peruse some of the design projects I have undertaken.
