I have worked as a graphic design artist for over 7 years, mainly in full-time jobs and have just made the switch to freelancing. I am proficient in most of the Adobe Creative Suite, my main applications being Illustrator and Procreate. I have worked in various parts of the industry, though have spent most of my time in print. At the beginning of my career, I worked as an in-house graphic designer for a screen-printing company where I worked daily on bringing clients' visions to life. I created many custom t-shirt designs in a variety of styles - from clean geometric to groovy hand-illustrated. After a year with the company, I went on to manage the entire art department, in which I had 6-8 artists underneath me. Where this was largely an administration-based job, it was also my job to gear the team creatively and ensure we were ahead of trends. I then went to work solely with a non-profit organization based in the heart of the surf world. I worked as part of their media team, until similarly, after about a year I then took over the whole department. This included creating all their marketing materials, shooting and creating content, managing their online presence, and creating merchandise for their sister business, a coffee shop. I believe what sets me apart as an artist is my people skills. I love working with people and being able to bring client's ideas to life. I am always open to feedback, as I want my clients to always walk away loving what has been made for them.

I design original cartoon characters that feel alive, memorable, and built with purpose—whether that’s for branding, storytelling, or something in between. I’ve been doing this professionally for years, working with teams like the Raiders, Ford, and Stanford, and I care a lot about getting it right the first time. No shortcuts, no generic work—just solid, thoughtful design that fits what you’re trying to build. I’m Shawn Encarnacion, a Top Rated Plus freelancer on Upwork and a professional cartoonist since 2005. I’ve completed hundreds of custom projects for clients ranging from startups to major brands.

Junseok Eom (Jun) Video Editor / Filmmaker / Motion Graphic Designer Hello, my name is Junseok Eom, but you can call me Jun. I am a video editor and filmmaker with over eight years of experience creating a wide range of visual content across multiple formats and platforms. I run my own creative studio, Broken Macaron, where I handle the entire production process — from planning, filming, and editing to color grading, motion graphics, and sound design. I primarily use the Sony FX3 camera, Adobe Creative Suite, and DaVinci Resolve in my workflow. One of my most meaningful professional experiences was working with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), an environmental organization based in New York. I produced various videos on topics such as PFAS, wildlife protection, and water issues, incorporating motion graphics to strengthen the storytelling. Through my dedication and collaboration with the multimedia team, I received three recommendation letters from NRDC managers, which helped me obtain my O-1B artist visa. I am currently in the process of applying for permanent residency in the United States. Recently, I have been collaborating with Ninth+Main, a Texas-based marketing agency, creating videos that highlight architecture, lifestyle, and mixed-use developments in the region. I also work as a video editor for JukeBoxJake, a TikTok music channel that grew from 23K to over 98K followers during my participation. Additionally, I edit videos for PerryPicture, an illustration-based YouTube channel. Previously, I produced event and documentary videos for the Korean Consulate in San Francisco and KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency), and later worked as a content creator at COBA Coffee, a startup based in Oakland. At COBA, I contributed to brand growth through video production, packaging design, and participation in events such as the San Francisco Coffee Festival. I believe that the most important qualities of a video editor are meeting deadlines, organized project management, and teamwork. Having served two and a half years in the Korean Navy, I deeply understand the importance of collaboration, discipline, and responsibility. These values guide my approach to every project I take on. My work spans a wide range of genres — from environmental and brand storytelling to lifestyle and experimental AI-driven short films. Please feel free to review my portfolio through the links provided below. Thank you for your time and consideration. Junseok Eom
