GRAPHIC DESIGNER // ILLUSTRATOR
Hey there, I'm Shaun. I'm a graphic designer and I love doing good work for good people.
My adventure in the commercial arts began around age 7 or 8; I would create stacks of colored pencil drawings on typing paper and take them around the neighborhood to sell for 25 cents each (a bargain, even accounting for inflation!) As a teenager I got into music and playing with 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, earned a 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.
