ABOUT
About Me:
My name is Sam Powell. I'm currently a freelance graphic and web designer, doing illustrative work in my spare time. I'm located in Kelowna BC, Canada, where I've always been. I attended the Centre for Arts and Technology during 2009-2011 and graduated with my diploma in Graphic and Digital Media Design.
More..
I have always been interested in art and design, to the extent of which I've used creativity in all aspects of my life. During my education I took part in every art and computer class I could, did crafts at home, developed an interest in interior decorating, fashion, and various other artsy things. My artistic drive is more than a career goal it is a part of me.
Currently I'm focusing on career based subjects like what you see here, but I still explore other avenues in my free time. I'm a gamer so I have some personal theme stuff around such things, as well as some illustrations and writing for some stories that I want to create in the future. I listen to classic rock and bike ride to keep a good additude and hope for when I can finally get into archery again with my own bow and quiver, learn swordplay and martial arts. You can tell I'm greatly into fantasy and nature themes.

About my Work:
My work is primarily Graphic Design, with Logos and Brands being my stronger points. I still take part in Web Design when I can and been doing some website work for friends plus volunteer projects like faithandsacrifice.org. I do this to help me in developing my skills in this area and to increase my comfort with coding. I continue to follow a few design resources and groups on deviantart to develop insight on web design and more. I enjoy picking new things up as I go.
