About

I am a graphic/web designer and artist with interests in typography, calligraphy, and world languages and cultures. My work over the years in a wide range of media, from AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Cloud to hand-made wedding certificates, has given me a unique style, and I am always looking for new opportunities to use my skills and experience to help fulfill client's needs for brand identity, infographics, and cover design and layout for publications. My latest focus includes creating word art designs using words from languages around the world, available on cards, apparel, prints, and more through my site parquillian.com. Specialties include Adobe Creative Suite/Cloud, Logos, Infographics, Book Covers, Calligrams, HTML5/CSS3, and WordPress.
