GRAPHIC DESIGNER // ILLUSTRATOR
Hey there, I'm Shaun. I'm a graphic designer and I love doing good work for good people.
My foray into the commercial arts started around age 7 or 8; I'd create stacks of colored pencil drawings on typing paper and sell them to my neighbors for 25 cents each. Later, my love for music led me to join several bands, where I discovered the fun in designing logos, flyers, painted guitars, drumhead art, and even props and costumes. I began to realize that my passion for visual art could be more than just a hobby — it could be a career.
I began my professional journey in 2009, eventually earning my degree in graphic design, and haven't looked back since. Through it all, I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, from large brands to small businesses, across freelance, agency, and in-house settings. Each project has been a unique adventure, allowing me to hone my skills and adapt to various creative challenges.
I'm always excited about the prospect of new projects and collaborations. Whether you're a big brand or a neighborhood business, I'd love to work with you to help bring your big ideas to life.
