Skip McKinstry Designer/Writer

Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Long story short: I do design. The usual stuff: logos, brands, books, labels, brochures, ads, packaging, web sites, matchbook covers, etc. I also write. The usual stuff: ads, brochures, scripts, tweets, blogs, emails, letters home, expense reports, etc.

And with 25 years of experience I'm pretty darn good at it. Evidence? SkipMcKinstry.com
