of my daily work. I’m always

asked to create a number of

styles and I’m grateful for the

use in Photoshop to help me

design all these logos.

designer/illustrator and

Photoshop is my go-to

platform. I enjoy playing

around with Photoshop

to mix photography and

illustration to build an image.”
