Biography
My name is Michael Cruz, I'm originally from New Jersey, but I've been now living in Redding, CA for 14 years with my wife and 3 children. I have been a graphic designer for 10 years now. I have had various roles from creative director, photographer, project manager, to now owning my own freelance graphic design business. I have worked with a wide range of clients from book bag companies, clothing lines, military medical companies, a navy seal, coffeeshops, to several small businesses and start ups in both Redding and the US. I'm proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom. I have extensive experience creating images and branding for events and businesses, as well as designing merchandise and marketing material. I believe I can bring a lot of creative insight and direction to projects, events, etc. You will see in my work I can adapt to many styles and mediums. My goal is always to hear the vision that my client has and do my best to creatively express that in various ways.
