I will take on logo design jobs and web design jobs for face to face clients.

Boneyard SafariSheff and I attended Art Center together and have been good friends ever since. His talent, dedication to his craft, and work ethic have always been standout and are the reasons why I’ve involved him in numerous projects and would work with him again in a heartbeat. Having his know-how and talent on a project would elevate the quality of that project and the process of completing that work would be all the more enjoyable due to his participation.
I highly recommend Sheff and look forwards to any future opportunities to work with him again![/wr_vc_testimonial][wr_vc_testimonial clientname=”Sam Robbins – `{`span`}`UX/UI at Boss Fight Entertainment`{`/span`}`” button_text=”Via LinkedIn” button_url=”https://www.linkedin.com/in/samantharobbins/” button_target=”_blank” image=”3165″]It is my pleasure to give this amazing Instructor my recommendation as it was due to his dedication and introduction of new ways of thinking about illustration that I was able to advance my skills and pursue my artistic goals.
