Freelance Designer

SAL Designs

August, 2009 – January, 2015 (over 5 years)

I have been doing a variety of freelance design work over the past several years, ranging from logos, web pages, marketing banners, and various other marketing tools. I have recently shifted my full attention to books, designing covers and formatting interior layouts for printing.

I work closely with my clients before doing any design work to gauge whether I am the right designer for the project, and if so, to determine the best possible angle prior to contracting. I offer a few crude design choices as a first step before narrowing down the ideal choice and polishing it to fit both the client's choice as well as the interest of marketing and content of the project.
