Logo
I know most people are tired of letterpress / grunge type but it makes sense. When I was concepting a logo, I tried to remember what started me down the graphic designer path. I remember one of my favorite books growing up was “Handbook of Early American Advertising Art” by Clarence P. Hornung. It is a book of woodcut and metal etching illustrations and type. So I created a logo to reflect and honor early designers.

Ok, but who is he?
Not your typical duck...
All my life I have been trying to be different. Yes, I spell 'Jef' with only one 'f' from my parents and proud of it.
I also inherited hard work ethics and stubbornness to do the best work for each client. Nothing better then the feeling of knowing each day you did your best for each client.
Ok, I hope that answers your questions.
But if you have any additional questions that I didn't answer, please send me an email or call me.
Thank you.
