MY SERVICES
LOGO DESIGN
I love to create logos. I’ve worked with many people from small and large businesses. Logos are something that can be complicated, and I’m up for the challenge!
POSTER DESIGN
If you’re looking for someone to design a poster, then you’ve found the guy. I’m in love with Typography and everything to do with posters. I think it’s so important to make sure that the design looks great, and that you’re able to get the information in an easy to read way that looks great.
BUSINESS CARD DESIGN
Business Cards nowadays are so important. It’s sometimes the only thing that we physically see at home from a company. So getting the design and information perfect is crucial. I’m able to design and print* business cards that look unique and get people’s attention.
