Howdy! I create high-impact YouTube thumbnails and AI-powered product advertisements that make people stop scrolling. With over 25 years of professional Photoshop experience, I specialize in creating bold visuals that communicate instantly, whether it's a YouTube thumbnail competing for clicks or a product advertisement designed to drive sales. My focus is simple: Clarity, Emotion, and Curiosity. These are the elements that attract attention, increase engagement, and help content and products stand out in crowded feeds. I approach every design like a miniature movie poster or premium advertising campaign. The goal is to communicate the core message in under one second. WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN • High-CTR YouTube thumbnails • AI-generated product advertisements • Luxury product renders and product showcases • Social media advertising creatives • Emotional reaction thumbnails • Documentary and history thumbnails • Cinematic storytelling thumbnails • Educational and explainer thumbnails • Thumbnail redesigns to improve CTR • Marketing graphics and promotional assets AI PRODUCT ADVERTISING I can transform a simple product photo into premium advertising imagery using advanced AI workflows combined with professional Photoshop compositing. Examples include: • Luxury watch advertisements • Cosmetics and beauty products • Food and beverage promotions • Technology and gadget marketing • Apparel and fashion advertising • Lifestyle product campaigns • Amazon and Shopify product creatives • Social media advertising campaigns Whether you need a product displayed on a marble pedestal, floating in a luxury environment, showcased in dramatic lighting, or integrated into a cinematic scene, I can create attention-grabbing visuals designed for modern advertising. MY DESIGN APPROACH Before designing a thumbnail or advertisement, I focus on three things: 1. The Curiosity Hook What question should the viewer instantly ask when they see the image? 2. Clear Visual Hierarchy Strong focal points, readable shapes, and clean composition that works on mobile devices and social media feeds. 3. Cinematic Impact Professional lighting, color contrast, and visual storytelling that make the image feel premium, exciting, and memorable. The result is visual content that is simple, bold, and highly effective. TOOLS & SKILLS • Adobe Photoshop (advanced compositing and retouching) • AI image generation for advertising and marketing • Product visualization and mockups • Luxury advertising design • Photo enhancement and lighting control • Color grading for dramatic impact • Thumbnail optimization for mobile readability • Visual storytelling and composition EXPERIENCE I've worked across a wide range of visual media, including: • YouTube thumbnails and channel branding • Product advertising campaigns • Social media marketing graphics • Book covers and illustrated layouts • Promotional graphics and advertising assets • Visual production environments related to AAA video games This background gives me a strong understanding of composition, storytelling, marketing psychology, and visual communication. WHAT CLIENTS APPRECIATE • Clear communication • Fast turnaround • Thoughtful design decisions • Consistent visual quality • Reliability for long-term projects • Creative problem solving Many of my clients are content creators, entrepreneurs, e-commerce sellers, and marketers who need a dependable designer they can work with week after week. If you're looking for someone who understands what makes people click, engage, and buy, I'd be happy to help. A little about me: I'm also a digital nomad. During the past two years I've lived in three different countries while working remotely. Highlights include: • Visiting 9 Mayan ruins • Skiing over 700 km • Riding 40+ roller coasters • Helping baby sea turtles reach the ocean • Relaxing on 9 different beaches Current location: Mexico 🌴

I’ve been a graphic designer long enough to know that most problems aren’t really design problems. They’re “nobody thought hard enough about who’s actually going to read this” problems. That’s where I come in. I work with small businesses, startups, nonprofits, agencies, and established companies on everything from quick one-pagers to full brand overhauls. The work looks different every time, but it usually comes down to the same thing: does it reach the right people, and does it feel like the person or organisation behind it. Got a design project? Tell me who it’s for, what it needs to do, where it’ll be used (print/web/social), and the deadline. I’ll take a look and send you a quote. Right now, a lot of clients are wrapping up summer projects and getting a head start on September: - Board reports, donor updates, and fall fundraising prep: impact reports, annual reports, short highlights PDFs, appeal materials, thank-you follow-ups, and event graphics - Fundraising pieces they need soon: email graphics, social graphics, event materials, and campaign graphics - Fall events, conferences, and trade shows: booth signs, banners, brochures, handouts, promo cards, and leave-behinds - Back-to-school, training, and program materials that need to be ready sooner than people think: workbooks, handouts, program guides, orientation packets, parent handouts, and first-week materials - Packaging updates, product rollouts, and retail changeovers: labels, product graphics, shelf signs, window posters, and display graphics - Restaurant, patio, and other late-summer promos: menu updates, table cards, specials signage, sidewalk signs, patio signage, and other quick-turn promo pieces - Tourist-season and visitor-facing materials: posters, window signs, simple guides, and info sheets - Fall launches and online promos: social templates, web banners, podcast covers, launch graphics, and other campaign assets MY SERVICES: - Branding and logos - Reports and publications, including annual reports, impact reports, white papers, and magazines - Marketing materials such as brochures, one-pagers, ads, signage, and trade show displays - Restaurant materials, including menus, signage, packaging, and takeout materials - Packaging design, including labels, boxes, and retail packaging - Educational materials such as workbooks, handouts, and training guides - Digital and social graphics, including podcast covers, banners, and social posts - Infographics, including charts, graphs, and diagrams If you have a project and a rough timeline, send a message with a bit of context, and we’ll figure out the rest.
