Available to hire
Hi, I’m Vicki Fraser, a passionate graphic designer and illustrator with a love of history and archeology. I feel as comfortable drawing on my iPad as I do typesetting using InDesign, and frequently produce physical pieces of art in my downtime.
With experience freelancing and collaborating on projects for organizations like Wolf Trap Foundation and Northern Virginia Community College, I focus on detail-driven work that meets unique needs and budgets. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and contribute to meaningful projects that make a difference.
