Dawn Griffin's Summary
I have a BFA in graphic design and Illustration, and most of my experience is in the graphic design field... Specializing in signage, packaging, literature and logos. In my early career I gained experience with large-format digital printers such as the Vutek series, added vinyl laying skills and “old fashioned” signage creation, finishing methods, and other printing/manufacturing methods. This gives me a very rounded and wholesome view of the start-to-finish manufacturing, and appreciation for new technology. Having a vast freelance clientele, I work well with customers, striving to give them exactly what they want, even if they cannot quite describe what they are envisioning. My illustration background allows me to change styles on a whim, expanding my value as an illustrator.
