My Background
As a trained classical musician, graphic design was not something I set out to pursue. It kind of found me you could say, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn just how my musical creative outlet could be tapped with graphic design.
After relocating to a small Oregon town, I applied for a Marketing Director position with a family-owned jewelry store. I honestly was more interested in the jewelry at first because I had no previous experience in marketing or advertising. I soon discovered that I had an innate ability to visualize & create vibrant designs without having any formal education or training.
In my 5+ years there, I worked on a vast array of projects - everything from mailers to billboards and everything in between. After moving to another town, I still continued to create graphics for my Color Street business and my family. Eventually my friends started asking me to create for them on personal and business projects.
Even with such positive feedback and new projects coming in, it was only recently (mainly through the encouragement of my amazing wife) that I decided to embrace my talent and work on freelance projects. I launched my own business, Clementine Graphics in February 2023.
I strive to continue learning - I'm proud of where I started and I'm even prouder of where I am now and I grow and improve with every new design and I can't wait to design for you!
My Style
I enjoy designing a wide variety of projects, particularly logos and branding. I have an eye for creating graphics that are brand recognizable and consistent, but still offer unique character. I work well with creating from scratch but I can also work with your inspiration to turn your ideas into eye-catching designs.
