    We've been recommended to contact Erin to make the album art for our last music release. After seeing what he did on his site and listening to his music band, we've been convinced. He took care to asked us what we had in mind to specify and find where to go in a kind, natural and efficient way. As musicians, It was reassuring to know that he's also one and he understand what we need. Finally, he just took our ideas/expectations and make them real, sublimating them in the process. Erin is cool, and serious, and his work rocks, so we can do nothing but recommend him!

How It Works

  • You contact me, and I share my process, prices, and options. I collect information about your project goals, brand identity, and audience to achieve the best results.

  • I research your industry, competitors, and design trends. This step helps build a solid base for your branding, web design, or illustration project.

  • I sketch initial ideas and wireframes to explore creative options. This defines layouts for web design, compositions for illustrations, and logo variations for branding.

  • After choosing a concept, I focus on adding clear details for great visual impact and usability. For branding and graphic design, I produce polished designs in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. For web design, I create detailed mockups in Figma.

  • I share the design for your feedback and will adjust it as needed. My aim is to make sure the design matches your vision while being user-friendly and consistent with your brand.

  • Branding & Graphic Design: Get top-quality files for print and web in various formats.

    Web Design: I build your site on Squarespace or Framer, optimize it for search engines, and ensure it works well on all devices before launching.
    Illustration: Receive high-resolution artwork for print, digital use, or animation.
