Michael Jimenez
Graphic Artist
Orlando, FL, USAI’m a graphic designer and illustrator based in Orlando with over 7 years of professional experience. I have traveled around the Sun 26 times, along the way I have grown to love designing things on the computer screen and paper. I aim to not simply just design something that looks pretty, but to inspire and leave an impression. With my improving skills, I hope to find a line of work that suits me best.
