Senior Illustrative Merchandise Designer | 14+ Years of Retail-Ready Apparel Expertise Hi, I’m Qawlan S.M. I am a full-time professional illustrator and graphic designer with over 14 years of industry experience. Since 2010, I have helped hundreds of brands—from independent streetwear labels to large-scale organizations—turn complex visions into high-selling physical merchandise. With 700+ completed projects across global platforms and a solid track record on Upwork, I specialize in creating artwork that doesn't just look good on a screen, but is technically engineered for flawless, professional-grade printing. ________________________________________ 🚀 Why Work With Me? Unlike many designers who rely on shortcuts, my workflow is built on technical precision and artistic integrity: • Ultra-High-Resolution Standard: I build every illustrative project on a massive 600 PPI canvas. This ensures your prints are razor-sharp with zero pixelation, even for large-scale DTF, screen-printing, or sublimation. • High-Fidelity PSD Mastery: I provide high-resolution, layered PSD files for complex artwork. This preserves the smooth line work, organic textures, and detailed coloring that vector tracing often loses. • Versatile Stylistic Range: Whether you need Retro Vintage, Psychedelic Art, 80s/90s Cartoons, Dark/Horror themes, or High-Detail Mascot Illustrations, I deliver authentic, manual-drawn results. • Retail-Ready Deliverables: Every job includes source files (PSD/AI), professional mockups, and commercial-use licenses—ready for immediate production. ________________________________________ 🎯 My Specialized Styles & Expertise: • Apparel & Streetwear: T-shirts, Hoodies, Hats, and full-line merchandise. • Music Industry Art: Album covers, tour posters, and band merch. • Technical Illustration: Line art, crosshatching, and complex mascot branding. • Traditional Aesthetics: Digitally mastered watercolor, ink-wash, and vintage textures. ________________________________________ 📈 Proven Track Record: • Experience: Professional active since 2010. • Education: 7 years of formal art education (College Graduate). • Tools: Expert proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate. • Reliability: Full-time freelancer with flexible availability and a reputation for meeting tight deadlines without compromising detail. ________________________________________ 💼 Let’s Build Your Next Best-Seller I am currently taking on new high-quality projects.
