Experienced Graphic Designer for the Music Industry

Graphic design is my primary focus, with voiceovers and production playing a significant role.

My body of work sets me apart, specifically that I have worked with artists that are household names such as Lynyrd Skynyrd. In every aspect of my work, I collaborate with well-respected artists at the top of their game.

It depends on the project, but generally, I work with artists who inspire me. Listening to their songs helps to motivate my work.

I love the whole creative process, getting stuck into producing a piece of work, and doing what I do best. I also enjoy showing the finished product to the client and getting to see their reaction.

Yes, in all aspects of my career, I have been independent. For instance, when I was a tour manager, I worked directly with artists such as Dee Snider and Brittany Fox. I have also worked for record companies, but always independently. My career has been diverse; I have worked in many areas of the music industry, as well as for charities.

I think it is essential to keep up with new advances in the industry, so I always try new products when they come out. For example, if a 3D animation program is released, I use it and learn how it works. I also do a lot of reading and researching to keep up-to-date with the industry.

I am a self-taught graphic designer, and I didn’t have any mentors in design. In 2001, I went to school for Graphic Communication but quickly discovered that I was as qualified and experienced as the teachers. I set myself a goal of being employed as a teacher there, and within five months, I was offered a full-time position.

I have worked with a wide range of clients from non-profits to family-owned businesses, but most of my work has been in the music industry; radio stations, record companies, and artists. I have worked with big names including The Who, Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Twisted Sister, Foreigner, and Type O Negative.

One of the projects I enjoyed the most and was seen by lots of people was for Dee Snider’s band, Van Helsing’s Curse. The logo I designed was displayed on billboards all over Las Vegas, on slot machines and poker tables, and at the stadium during the fireworks display at Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park. It was a proud moment to see that.

For me, the perfect job is when I am working with a client who knows what they want. I love to be given a clear brief and then the freedom to get creative and use my expertise to bring it to life.

Hi, I'm Lyndon and I've been a musician for...forever! I specialise in creating vast, sonic landscapes, especially with guitars. And I'm a sucker for a simple, hummable melody! CollaborationMusic is the one constant in my life, an ever present teacher. It's also the lense through which I see and hear the world and the language I use to connect with others. Hearing an artist's new song in the studio for the first time is always a privilege. I love those moments and I love helping to bring out the best in a performance. Confession TimeI'm a bit of a guitar tragic. My wife says I'm a nerd, and she's probably right! I was young when I caught the bug and I've never looked back. Guitar has since become an integral part of my writing and composing process. Work With MeDo you have a project you're working on or new music that needs some love? I'm keen to hear what you've got going on and if I think I can assist or add something special, even better. Let's work together!

Music producer, guitarist and serial collaborator. 

I'm inspired and surprised by honesty and vulnerability. I believe these two traits have the power to move and break even the hardest heart. They're also two things I personally find challenging to surrender to in my own work. So whenever I hear music or witness anything that exhibits these qualities I'm almost always overwhelmingly inspired.

I've never had a problem staying creative or keeping myself inspired. That's another benefit of working in an area of passion I guess. A valuable lesson I've had to learn (again) is that time away from 'work' is not wasted time. In fact it's necessary, healthy and perhaps more important than I ever realised.

My primary focus is to do what I love and always provide my clients with the best products and latest trends/ tech. 

I have not always been independent. I actually started my makeup career as a sale makeup artist at a kiosk in a mall selling mineral makeup. I was then scouted by Estee lauder as they saw I always had someone on my chair. I worked in luxury sales for several brands some of which include Charlotte Tilbury and Tomford. From there, after the pandemic, I saw an opportunity to focus on what I love most, just doing makeup. So, I joined bridal makeup agencies and now im building my own.

Part of what keeps me so engaged in this career is the never-ending opportunity to gain and polish new skills. I'm eager to deliver that final product that incorporates a little more than the client expects from me. I try to regularly engage in tutorials and exercises that challenge my skillset and make me a more well-rounded creative.

Hi there! My name is Kaytlin Gaines and I am a Virtual Assistant. I am also a full-time elementary school teacher!

Leave the data, communication, and organization to someone who has done that for years and enjoys it (ME!). I hope to add value and efficiency to businesses while working with each business and match their style. I hope I can work with you very soon!

I am unique because I have successfully juggled multiple hats daily as an educator. I know how to communicate, organize, and plan intentionally. This allows me to help businesses with tedious daily tasks and bigger-picture items with efficiency.

This is something that I have put a lot of thought into. There may be times when I take fewer clients during the school year because the quality of work is important to me. However, this type of work excites me and I find the time during the week to get it done to the customer's request.
