This site is a temporary solution for me to be able to showcase some of my latest work while I build my blog. I offer a full range of design services, including most graphic design, publication design or any other form of print; websites, typography and illustration. I have also created logos and corporate identities for various companies.
I'm a freelance designer based in Lexington, Kentucky. I was born and raised in a small, rural, town east of Lexington that is the known for being the gateway from the Bluegrass to the mountains of Appalachia. I have studied and/or practiced design in the central Kentucky area for 6 years and have been a good 'ole Kentucky boy my entire life.
My company, the Martin Design Studio, LLC consists of myself alone. Even though, I choose to remain small, I do have the ability to tap into my established network of photographers, developers, marketers, printers, and other creatives in order to tackle a project of just about any size and scope. I have worked with clients on local, regional and national levels both as an employee and on my own accord as a freelancer. Recently I've been developing a deep love for social media.
Have a look at my recent highlights and portfolio. If you feel I may be a good fit for a future project you have in mind, please feel free to .
