Before a customer reads your tagline, they feel your brand. Before they hear your pitch, they judge your deck. Before they buy your product, they react to your packaging. Before they click your ad, they process your visual in under three seconds. Every single touchpoint either builds trust or destroys it — and every single one of them is a design decision.
I have 𝟕+ 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 across every discipline of graphic design, I make sure every one of those decisions works in your favor.
I am a 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫 working with startups, entrepreneurs, product brands, marketing agencies, and established businesses across the United States and North America — covering brand identity, logo design, print design, packaging design, digital marketing design, social media graphics, presentation design, and illustration, all under one roof.
Most clients come to me after the same frustrating experience — multiple designers, multiple styles, multiple communication threads, and a brand that still doesn't look consistent across channels. I solve that problem permanently. One designer. One creative vision. Complete consistency from your business card to your billboard to your Instagram ad.

Every project follows the same disciplined process regardless of size or type. I start by understanding your business, your audience, your market, and your goals. Research comes first. Concepts come second. Refinement happens together. Final delivery is always clean, complete, and ready to use — no missing files, no wrong formats, no follow-up needed.
For print projects, every file is delivered print-ready — CMYK color mode, correct bleed and trim marks, press-ready PDF, and high resolution. For digital projects, every file is platform-optimized and correctly sized. For branding projects, you receive every format you will ever need — AI, EPS, PDF, SVG, and PNG — along with full commercial rights and a brand guide your entire team can follow.
Over 𝟕+ 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 I have designed for businesses across technology, food and beverage, retail, fashion, real estate, health and wellness, education, finance, e-commerce, hospitality, and professional services across the US and internationally. Different industries speak different visual languages — and I design with that understanding every time.
I work with clients who want one reliable creative partner for the long term — not a different freelancer for every project. If that is what you are looking for, we will work well together.
𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 with your project details, and I will respond with a clear plan, realistic timeline, and everything you need to move forward with confidence.

I'm an Illustrator and Designer who works both digitally and traditionally in a variety of media. Currently working as an Art Director with an animation studio, I'm accepting short term contracts on UpWork that call for creative illustrative and collaboration.
My portfolio here on UpWork is rarely maintained, you can check out a larger updated portfolio on my personal website (google my name, you'll find it.) as well as recent work and random drawings on my Instagram, @daynadrawsstuff.
Past clients include biggies like SnapChat and Johnson & Johnson, but my favorite clients are the amazing people I meet here on UpWork, like small businesses and self published authors.
I'd be happy to discuss your project ideas, and am always excited to tackle new projects. Please contact me with any questions,
Cheers!
