Need a Graphic Designer/Artist?

[Olsen]

TURN YOUR IDEAS INTO REALITY..

On or off site.

Concept development is my forte and client satisfaction of paramount
importance. My thirteen years of graphic experience includes design,
layout, production and illustration from concept to camera ready.
Completed projects range from marketing, educational and exhibit
materials, advertisements and corporate identity to name just a few.

I also have Project and Production Management experience and will meet
your deadlines to come up with the best solution possible. Through our
interaction your ideas can be crystallized into reality!

I look forward to meeting with you.

Sincerely,
Maryl Olsen
