About me

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember, and began to teach myself photoshop and the rest of the Adobe suite in high school at the age of 15, so at present I have over two decades of experience in digital art and design. I have been working professionally as a graphic designer, web designer, and occasional writer for various clients since 2016. Ask any of my former clients, references can be provided at your request, and they will tell you the same thing. I am a consummate professional that executes his assignments in a timely manner and with impeccable precision to specifications. In the following portfolio you will find examples of my past works which I believe showcase each of my skill sets, along with brief explanations wherever necessary. Much of my work may seem comedic in nature, I enjoy a laugh and so do some of my past clients, but I assure you I take every assignment seriously. This is what I do, it is what I’ve always done, and it is what I hope to continue doing for the rest of my life. As such, I make great efforts to ensure that as many clients as possible become repeat customers, and I value every relationship and connection I am able to make.

Company Logos

 

This was for a B2B Supplier. They wanted something simple and easy to reproduce and stamp on products, but with some class.

The owner of this company asked me to create something minimalist with a pipe-like feel, so I used a more rounded font. They also requested for the logo to be orange as that was a color specific to their brand.

My only instructions for this one were: It should say Eustis & Cornell of Marblehead, and please make it look elegant.

Here’s a logo I did for a retro-themed sportswear company. They wanted it to have a 1990’s feel.

The logo for this website, which was founded by my friends and I.

A customizable classic arcade logo I made in Adobe Illustrator to place on various products.

 

Photo Editing

I have done quite a bit of photo editing work. Here are a few before and after pictures so you can get a feel for what I can do.

Before

 

After

For this one the customer had a public domain photo they wanted to use as a background, but they wanted the model removed.

This was for a poster someone wanted based on a joke from the show It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

For this photo, the client wanted the sky to look more vibrant, they also wanted a more square shape to the photo without cropping anything out.

 

Not only did I remove the model and blend the background together, but I also removed some extra people I noticed in the background.

They had me put Danny Devito’s face on Rambo’s body, because his character keeps claiming the plots of the Rambo movies are things that actually happened to him.

This client needed a photo of their chapel with its new awning in time for a calendar, however they didn’t have their landscaping done yet. So they had me photoshop the new awning into some old photos where the landscaping is done.

Social Media Posts, Banners, Ads

First off we have some instagram posts and promotional images for products and sales. Usually meant to be paired with other ad-copy.

Here are a few different website banner ads I’ve made. I have more samples if you’d like to see them, but I think these get the idea across

 
 

Below you’ll see some pinterest and instagram story posts I’ve made. I felt they were a good showcase of my text work and composition.

Physical Products and Product Mockups

In addition to being able to use photoshop to create my own original mockups, I have access to massive libraries of product mockup templates and can provide quick photos of products with a variety of staging.

Designs for Print products

Here is a small selection of designs I have made specifically to be printed on t-shirts, stickers, etc. I have experience designing things for print, making sure what’s on the screen is as accurate as possible to what gets printed. This includes working with product templates, working with restricted color palettes, and meeting file size and pixel density requirements.

Articles I’ve Written

I have written articles and done copy writing for other sites, but I do think a lot of my best work has been in the editorials I’ve done for this very site. Feel free to check out some of my most recent articles.
