About

My name is Curtis. I am a graphic designer based in South Pasadena, CA.

I am currently Freelancing for a skate brand Glassy Sunhaters, and have a broad range of work

and experience, having worked for the top names in action sports, music, and fashion.

My work emphasizes in apparel, but extends to much more, including: packaging,

photo retouching, logo design, and advertising campaigns.

I am a team player, but am self-motivated with a high completion drive,

and am always moving forward.
