Max Kretschmer

Art Director

Portland, OR, USA
I love helping businesses establish a strong and cohesive brand. My main services are brand design, marketing/e-commerce web design and art direction. I'm a flexible designer and love working on styles that range from playful and colorful, to styles that are more understated and minimal. I can work with existing design systems, or help you create one from scratch.
