Hello, my name is Ethel Martinez and I've been a professional graphic designer/illustrator for over 20 years. Under my belt, I've worked for top-notch companies in the gift industry, as well as for an internationally-known coffee company. Working for these corporations allowed me to overcome stressful and tight deadlines. Currently, I'm the online shop owner of Ate Ethel's Fond Memories where most of my designs cater towards the Filipino-American community, as well as international. However, I'm not opposed to working with different clients, as well. My Experience: I've collaborated with five children's authors who I've had the pleasure of designing innovative, multicultural and educational books for. I've assisted small start-up businesses with brand development and launching their campaigns out to the public. Illustration has always been my strong suit. It's been natural for me to create immersive, eye-catching designs for textile or surface design companies. Looking back at my experiences, there was never a dull moment in my career. I'm blessed and grateful to have worked with so many businesses with their own unique "flavors". However, as a self-motivated entrepreneur, I'm always seeking to build new business relationships. Please kindly take a moment to preview my portfolio. By doing so, I hope you get a better sense of my style and who I am as an artist.
