Billy Shayne Johnson

Graphic Designer and Illustrator

Fayetteville, AR, USA
Graduating with a degree in Design and Illustration has left me wandering the vast continental US searching for a creative place to call home. Working always with my clients from an array of states, I strive to keep my ability as a freelancer viable while taking my self-motivating attitude to whatever firm could use such a person. Empathic, perseverant, and innovative: I seek constantly in all things to effectively communicate any and all ideas through visual means.

Work Experience

Billy Shayne Design

Graphic Designer

I'm taking some time to move home down in the south to get a grasp of the next step ahead. The area known as Northwest Arkansas, has a great need to improve everything visual, but has little help to do so. My goal is to unite designers of the area and bring a sense of visual pride to an area dominated by conglomerate marketing and low-budget signs.
