MEECH - Illustrator/Graphic Designer
The Pitch
I create print graphics, web graphics, identities and logos, characters, and concepts for companies or individuals. I love to ideate and do conceptual work. If you're looking for an unusual, imaginative perspective, consider dropping me a line. (^_^)
I have 9 years of professional experience creating and preparing graphic design and illustration for both web and print.
I have worked with many advanced and limited printing processes (flexo, litho, direct-to-corrugate) and packaging media (closed and open box, blisters, clamshells, foils, trays) both domestic and overseas.
• My vocabulary and grammar skills are top-notch. I can even edit your documents.
