Malin Grön’s Summary

I have been freelancing as a creative (illustrator, graphic designer and art director) for five years. I've studied marketing and advertisement in order to understand and develop my work for that market.
I believe that there's only one thing that's holy, and that's a deadline.

Malin Grön’s Specialties:

I'm a damn good illustrator with experience in most fields, including animation, 3D visualisation and illustrations made both with traditional art tools and the computer.
