Graphic Design

I originally studied graphic design before focusing on web / digital.

While I no longer provide print services professionally (that means I don't produce brochures, print adverts, magazine material), I still enjoy the brand-creation experience (helping you with logos / corporate identity, business cards, Word and presentation templates...).
