Marc Engle – freelance graphic designer and illustrator
Design, custom graphics and production services for marketing executives, managers and their teams. I help businesses communicate complex ideas through clear, effective and fast design and illustration—ranging from marketing collateral and presentations to technical illustrations and infographics and much more.
I excel at creating world-class marketing materials and custom graphics, while consistently delivering the highest-quality results under tight deadlines and shifting priorities. I transform concepts and ideas into compelling, branded sales and marketing assets.
35+ years of experience = outstanding ROI to the businesses I serve.
Equally proficient on both Macs and PCs, my expertise in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and Powerpoint is further enhanced by a strong command of Premier Pro, After Effects, Cinema 4D, Workfront, and other powerful design, illustration and project management tools. Need an interactive brochure in pdf format that’s also setup for printing? A series of social media ads with video, photos and/or illustration? Or maybe trade show booth designs, collateral, and video presentations? Maybe all of the above? I can do that, and much more—with quality, speed and finésse damn few can match.
