Hello, my name is Shawn Schmidt, and I am a designer, illustrator, and photographer living in Vancouver, Washington.  As a lifelong creative, I strive to remain a student of craft and skill. I am versed in many of the latest digital tools,  but I often begin with a pen and paper.

It is my aim in order to grow as a creative, and as a human being, to be a continuous learner of art, craft, and design. My purpose is to maximize my usefulness in the endeavor of helping others realize their creative communication goals and needs. As such, I strive to approach every situation with an open mind, compassion, kindness, and a willingness to learn and to understand.

Some of my hobbies and inspirations include: outdoors, hiking, and people watching. I love to play the guitar, study music theory for composition and sound recording. I love animals of all types, and I find my greatest fulfillment in being of service to others. I have been a member of AIGA since 2015.
