Freelance Graphic Designer
I'm a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Ontario, Canada. I currently work full time for a web design company in Newmarket, focusing primarily on website design and user interface design but I also get to work on Logos, branding and editorial work. My gallery consists of mainly my personal work which I pursue in my spare time as well as the odd freelance project. Feel free to get in touch or check out my website: www.jezhawk.com, which is more regularly updated.
