Joshua P.

I build print-ready design systems – packaging on dielines, book interiors and covers, card and label templates – and I draw original illustration by hand, never AI-generated. Files go to press without surprises. What clients usually hire me for: Templates and series. One master layout that holds up across every version: book interior templates in InDesign built to Amazon KDP spec (one published, another in production), a trading card template system built across InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, a 9-variant logo suite, and 400+ point-of-sale templates for the Coca-Cola Consolidated web-to-print store for a commercial printer's web-to-print store. Print & packaging production. Four years at a commercial printer, starting in prepress. On Upwork: a 7" vinyl jacket and labels adapted to the manufacturer's dieline, a USPS-compliant direct mail card the mail house approved with no revisions, and a 14×48 ft billboard that went straight to OUTFRONT's press. Files ship at 300 ppi (150 for large-format), with bleed, safe zones and non-printing dieline layers kept separate. Hand-drawn vector and illustration. Meadow & Wren's logo suite redrawn by hand from AI-generated art – every stem, counter and the script tagline – plus landscape scenes, illustrated maps, a wraparound novel cover, and 20+ commercial pieces for Roman Atwood's Smile More brand. I work in graphite and colored pencil as much as Procreate and Illustrator. Creative direction and brand. I don't just execute a brief. For a direct mail consultancy, I set the offer strategy and creative direction on calls with the founder and built five structural concepts before a single file went to print. Prater Landscaping has trusted me with their identity since 2019 – logo, stationery, brochure, yard signs and vehicle magnets. I also build WooCommerce stores and do UX in Figma – including the Coca-Cola Consolidated web-to-print store, which handled $208,445 GMV across 560 purchase orders. Send me the dieline, the manuscript or the brief – I'll tell you what's going to cause problems before it gets to press.
