Available to hire
Hi, I’m Carl a freelance graphic designer for just over 10 years, with over 20 years experience in the industry. I’ve built my own client base in that time but continually look to build new relationships. I’ve got a very broad skill set, being freelance has inspired me to learn more skills in more areas of design but I particularly love working on brand / logo designs for clients. Obviously I’m well versed in creative software, can work to tight deadlines and have excellent communication skills. Currently living near the sea, training a pointer dog. Hope we can work together.
