Shannon Riley, Artist in Seattle, WA

About

I am a customer-oriented artist and designer with expertise in logo design and branding that reflects clients’ styles, values, and objectives. I am focused on understanding clients’ needs and aesthetic preferences. My strong technical foundation in fine art provides a sense of composition, proportion, and form. I am able to deliver projects on time and within budget. I am innovative and have excellent drafting, communication, and organizational skills. My background in technical draftsmanship and classical technique helps me create dynamic digital compositions, and integrate text with design in inventive ways.
