Margie Hasen

Freelance Graphic Designer

I’ve been working for the past 8 years now as an Online Freelance Graphic Designer. I have designed from inception to production: logos, Identity Packages, Brochures, Flyers, Magazine Ads, Product Labels, Web Graphics and more. My most recent passion is packaging design and I must say that I have fallen in love with it, not because is different to anything else that I have done, but because I find it challenging and rewarding at the same time.
