Hire the Best Sketch Designers in Ohio

Passionate about creating unique graphic designs and illustrations, I've been honing my skills as a professional freelance artist for 7 years. With a background in tattoo artistry, specializing in American traditional work, I bring a distinct and edgy style to my designs. My true calling lies in apparel design, especially graphic tees that showcase my love for skate culture, grunge, goth, and the alternative aesthetic. Let's connect and create something unique!

Since the start of my freelance career in 1983, I have partnered with advertising agencies, design firms, businesses, and individuals on a wide range of projects. Along the way, I’ve developed a reputation for meeting deadlines, paying close attention to detail, and delivering polished work that clients trust. I’m equally comfortable working independently or collaborating as part of a creative team.

I make things people can actually hold and put on a wall: illustrated covers and cards, logos and full brand systems, event flyers and banners, posters and signage. Most of it starts as a pencil sketch on real paper, and all of it is built to go to press without surprises. I've been doing this since 2019 for small businesses, independent authors, nonprofits, and a few enterprise clients, and I handle the whole thing myself, from the first rough sketch to coordinating the print run. My work is drawn and built by hand, not auto-traced or generated, which is usually why people come to me in the first place. They want original art with an actual person behind it. Where I spend most of my time: Illustration is the heart of it. I work in graphite and colored pencil as much as Procreate, Photoshop, and Illustrator: character work, nature and landscape scenes, greeting cards, and big story-packed compositions. I also do book covers built to Amazon KDP spec, full wraparound with front, back, and spine. I've produced commercial work at volume too, including 20+ pieces for Roman Atwood's Smile More brand. Brand identity is the other half. I build full systems from zero: logo, colors, type, business cards, collateral. I work it out through research, hand sketches, and real revision rounds, and I coordinate the printing so it doesn't fall apart at the vendor. Prater Landscaping is a good example: logo, letterhead, business cards, tri-fold brochure, yard signs, and vehicle magnets, all coordinated and shipped. On the print side, I do event flyers, tickets, bulletin inserts, retractable banners, yard signs, brochures, and posters. Everything ships CMYK at 150dpi minimum with proper bleed and crop marks, press-ready, and I know how the material behaves, whether it's corrugated plastic, vinyl, or coated poster stock. I designed the Women's Christmas Dinner series for Epiphany Lutheran Church three years running, with a fresh look each year that still felt like the same event. I also build WooCommerce stores and do UX work in Figma. I previously set up an enterprise platform handling $208,445 GMV across 560 purchase orders for a Fortune 500-scale beverage distributor. If you want a designer who draws by hand, delivers files that print right the first time, and stays with the project through production, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
