Available to hire
Hi, I’m Eric Beckett, a graphic designer and art director with over a decade of experience crafting branding, print, and digital design for publishing, marketing, and e-commerce. I love creating cohesive, vintage-inspired aesthetics that help brands tell their stories and stand out in crowded markets.
I’ve designed wedding invitations, magazines, and marketing materials for Minted, Simply To Impress, Primedia, and Werner Publishing, always focusing on clear typography, strong layouts, and polished production. I enjoy collaborating with clients to bring ideas to life using Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop.
