Jeff DeSantis

Graphic Designer

I am mainly a print graphic designer, specializing in packaging. I also have some illustration, and basic web design experience. My style I feel is quite varied; I can do rough and modern, or clean and corporate. I also specialize in music related album art/layout and apparel design.
