  • Graphic illustration capabilities (illustration graphics on products & packaging, texture applications)
  • On-product graphic applications
  • Web Design (Squarespace or WordPress)
  • Branding & Strategy
  • and more!

You like small teams because you get to wear a lot of hats. Along with being a great designer, you are also an organized individual ready to help support STEL marketing efforts.
