    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.

    At the age of 13, this individual began using Adobe Illustrator and other Adobe products, giving him a decade of experience with these powerful design tools. This extensive experience with industry-standard software means that he has a deep understanding of the capabilities and limitations of these programs, allowing him to create high-quality designs quickly and efficiently. His background in athletics has also given him the discipline and work ethic necessary to excel in his field. The dedication and focus required to excel in athletics can be directly applied to design work, as both require long hours and attention to detail. Additionally, his military experience has given him the ability to work well under pressure and to think strategically.

Finally, as a paramedic, he has developed a strong sense of empathy and the ability to understand the needs of others. This is an important skill for a designer, as it allows him to create designs that resonate with his audience and effectively communicate the desired message. Overall, this individual's unique combination of experience in athletics, the military, and as a paramedic, along with his extensive experience using Adobe Illustrator and other Adobe products, gives him a distinct advantage over other designers in his field.

    Hi! My name is Alex and I am a general nerd for Tabletop RPG, Star Wars, and Anime. I am looking to begin a freelance career as I have grown bored with the industry I worked for 13 years. Like many artists, drawing and writing is something that has been part of my life since I could hold a crayon. I am a mother to a 6 year old and have a newborn. It is more than time that I pursue my dream so that my children know they can achieve theirs. An opportunity to show you what I can do would be greatly appreciated. I regularly attend conventions to vend my art and take on commissions. So I cannot wait to show you what I can do!
