Hi, I’m Jermaine Duncan, a graphic designer and digital illustrator based in Powder Springs, GA. I earned a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies: Game Design/Development from Georgia State University and specialize in Adobe Creative Cloud, Procreate, and Maya. I’m drawn to digital art inspired by manga, video games, and modern ad campaigns, and I design to communicate ideas clearly through visuals. Since graduating, I’ve expanded into digital marketing alongside art, building strong foundations in lettering, photomanipulation, branding, logo design, art direction, product design, and character design & illustration. I’ve collaborated with online clients on illustration and logo design and started personal projects to sharpen my marketing-driven creative skills. I’m open to opportunities anywhere in the US.
