Senior Graphic Designer at Lester Communications Inc.
Winnipeg, Canada Area
I know it takes something different to get peoples attention and more importantly, to keep it. All of my designs are created from scratch using nothing but "My Fingers & My Mind". I refuse to be stuck in one style of design or cater to any specific genre. If you are looking for a creative new flare for your business, band, or product, you have come to the right place.
I can work with everyone from:
The small business owner looking to expand their business model
The up and coming musician needing a creative identity to compliment their creative style
The mainstream high end corporate guru looking for some creative flair
The affiliate promoter looking to break the mold with a new style
And most important of all, I can work with YOU!
Competitive pricing, creative and unique design, professional quality, XML, HTML, JavaScript, usability, CSS, Flash, Swish, Photoshop
