I am an experienced and energetic artist with a passion for digital design and illustrations - I am also highly skilled in freehand sketching (bonus!). With an extensive design knowledge base and a willingness to learn and apply new techniques - I offer outstanding support and cooperation to my clients. I am continually adding new skills as needed to keep up new industry trends. Clients are highly impressed with my ability to create a verbally described design by freehand sketch, then convert it to a final digital design. Over the years I have created brand logos, characters, social media/web assets, powerpoints/presentations, infographics, video editing, t shirt designs, book covers, flyers, brochures, business cards, and much more. I also offer 1 on 1 Adobe Illustrator training via zoom. Learn the basics or advanced skills. This helpful for the non-designer, who simply wants to make small edits without the need to bother their designer (i.e. color changes, font changes, etc.). Also helpful for those looking to get into design or experienced designers looking for help with advanced training. Adobe Illustrator provides the option to create more defined/sharp graphics and the abiliy to create vector graphics (most often used for web). Rate: $150/hour This is my full-time career. I am located in central standard time zone, and I am flexible with respect to working hours.Character Design
