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, skill, and understanding. My skill set includes the latest cutting edge design software, such as Adobe Creative Cloud, but I often prefer to begin with pen and paper. 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
