Freelance Illustrator & Designer

My name is Michael Paul Escañuelas. I’m a graphic and web designer with over four years of professional work experience under my belt. 

I attended the University of La Verne; a small private college housed in the beautiful city of La Verne. I graduated in 2011 with a Bachelors degree in English and a minor in Journalism. I worked for both the school magazine and newspaper for most of my college career. I began my design career doing layout for the school publications I worked for and also doing design work for local bands and music venues. 

I have spent most of my professional career working in-house as a graphic and web designer. In addition to that, I've kept a constant rotation of freelance work on the side. 

In addition to design work, I also enjoy creating and performing music and podcasting about vinyl records. 

I have a strong love for coffee, my favorite color is a heated battle between coral pink and mint green, and my favorite author is Ernest Hemingway.
