I am an experienced and affordable graphic designer looking to expand my freelance business. I've been studying the art of graphic design for about 8+ years now. I mastered two degrees: BFA in Graphic Arts and a BA in Photography.
Although my passion is print design, I've been given the opportunity to learn packaging design and have been mostly working in that field for 3+ years now. However, I am extremely knowledgeable and capable to design anything in all categories listed below:
- Logo/identity (business cards, letterhead, and envelopes)
- Brochures
- Signage/posters
- Typographical pieces
- Advertisements
- Packaging
- Invitations
- Digital illustrations
- Direct mail pieces and postcards
- Basic web design and HTML emails and much more
Aside from design services, I also offer photography services. My forte is digital product or portraiture photography in a studio setting. If needed, I am also experienced in outdoor and architectural photography.
I will go above and beyond to work with my clients with regards to pricing or creative ideas to make them feel comfortable, and hopefully, we can maintain a long-term business relationship.
Please feel free to browse through my website below. If you require to see more work, please contact me, and I will be happy to send.
I have an updated price list. Please contact me for packages!
Please become a fan on Facebook (Dispenza design - graphic design + photography service). Only contact me if you are seriously considering using my services. Please do not contact me for work outside of this criteria.
Thank you, and I hope to fulfill your creative needs!
Question and answer
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. I think my biggest struggle with customers is explaining the technology process and the time frames. Many of my customers don't understand the time it takes to do some things and the thought process or layout process behind it. Sometimes things aren't so black and white and I think a lot of confusion comes when trying to explain this. Also the knowledge behind the Adobe programs sometimes hurts when delivering files and explaining the resolution. So please I just ask to be patient and ask me as many questions as possible. I find it better when I am overly communicated to than nothing.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I try to make my work stand out from other designer and photographers by creating new and unique things. I am constantly pushing the envelope by doing research and putting effort into each piece. Whether its finding new type or an interesting background. It may take me a bit longer to get a piece done than others, but it is because I try to be as detail oriented as possible. With my photography, if its not something that is shot straight forward, but a more avant garde piece - I try to take it's ordinary state and shoot it from a different aspect. A way the normal eye doesn't view that object.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. What I enjoy most about this job is making great art, unique art. I get to be creative in a different way than everyone else everyday. I take a lot of pride in my work and as I mention above - I may take longer, but I put more effort into each piece that is done. I like meeting new clients and learning from them and having them learn the field through me. I also like studying and expanding my knowledge in the field everyday. Whether it's a new program or a new technique. I like to make fun, creative, and enjoyable art.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. q: How many years have you been a photographer?
a: 10+ years
q: a designer?
a: 5+ years (in a professional setting)
I get a lot of questions regarding pricing, time frames, and file conversions/delivery - but this is an area I can answer personally if my services are booked with you.
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. I don't yet! But...maybe something in the future. If I think of anything - I will definitely add it!
