Hi, thanks for stopping by! I’m Jenny, a Canadian freelance artist with a passion for digital paintings and illustrations. I have been in love with creating for as long as I could walk, with over 15 years of experience drawing 100% by hand in Photoshop or Procreate. I've been lucky enough to work on many different forms of visual media including realistic or cartoon portraits, custom prints (wall art, mugs, clothing), book covers, web illustrations, logos, NFT collections, personalized cards, and much more. My natural eye for detail and close attention to my clients' preferences have proven great results for every project I've tackled. I would be honoured to bring your vision to life - let's get in touch!

Hello! I am a highly-experienced branding and creative designer as well as a digital artist and I am able to create visually-impactful layouts for brochures, catalogues, flyers and magazines, pitch decks and installation guides as well as packaging, POP displays, trade show booths and vehicle wraps. I can handle a project from concepts - providing you with at least 2-3 initial design concepts for review - through to final print-ready and online-ready artwork with expert-level layout design skills using InDesign, expert-level graphics creation using Illustrator and expert-level image manipulation skills using PhotoShop. Online - I am a front-end designer and developer and work with my developers who handle the back-end development - most web site platforms as well as custom development. I also design and develop all manner of email marketing - eblasts, evites, landing pages and customer portals. In addition to design and development, my developers and I support and manage a wide variety of online projects for our customers and can do the same for you. While I am may not be the cheapest - keep in mind someone of my experience can get things done much more efficiently and cost-effectively than someone charging much less - saving you time and money in the long run. Please note - my success rate has more to do with some clients not bothering to leave feedback than any problems which are rare... please read the feedback I have, I always work hard to ensure complete satisfaction for my Upwork clients, and there are many. I look forward to working with you. Thank you. Andrew
