Samantha Fasen
Freelance Graphic Designer
Oakland, CA, USAI would call myself a Creative first, Artist / Designer next. After studying art for many years in college, I was moved to jump head first into the design world after graduation, by teaching myself the programs of Adobe Suite and offering my design services as a freelancer. I’m eager to take the leap into bigger, full time projects and apply my creative skills to a career more focused on design.
