GUTH ILLUSTRATION & DESIGN
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I wear many hats: illustrator, logo and branding designer, map maker, print graphics designer, information graphics designer, copy writer and editor. While wearing them all, my goal is always to help my clients communicate their story.
I have been in the communication business since 1976, providing images and designs that are both elegant and functional.
My many years of experience mean projects will be done the right way, done on time, and quoted and billed fairly and honestly.
It is my job to work with you to create graphics that work
for you.
