Graphic Design / Illustration / Whatnot
Hello. My name is Jason Malmström. I have been working professionally as a graphic designer for just over five years. Apart from a strong work ethic, my greatest asset is my adaptability (in terms of tasks as well as projects). I am very comfortable in a number of roles and I would love the opportunity to put my diverse skill-set to use for you.
