ABOUT

BLAKE FOUND | GRAPHIC DESIGNER
For those who don’t want to read the paragraphs below in their entirety, here’s the “CliffsNotes” version of the information.

I am a graduate of Arizona State University, in the Visual Communication Design program, with a Bachelors of Science in Design.

I currently work for Communication Links, a small public relations firm in Scottsdale, Arizona as “the web guy” and one of two in-house graphic designers. Through this company I have had the amazing opportunity to lead the design of several major websites, one of which, is the official site for the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

I don’t really have too many exciting hobbies to share. I prefer to stay home and relax but sometimes the antics of my satanic cat Charlie urges me to leave and find refuge via photography, hiking, a game of pool, or a run to 4 Peaks for some cold hefeweizen.

I have done various design projects but I have to say my favorite projects are logos. Logos are often very challenging to come up with something innovative, clever, and unique but I like the challenge. A logo is often understated but is one of the most crucial elements of a business’s success and it is awesome thing to be a part of. Then of course there is always the hope that other designers will see it, like it, and wish they had thought of it. It’s a strange selfish urge amongst designers.

While my love is designing for print, I, like many others, recognized the ever growing popularity of digital media and web design and have made a goal of learning various digital methods to be able to accommodate all my client needs.

My ultimate goal is to move on from the whole freelance gig and own and run a small design firm either here in the AZ or in San Diego where the weather is always nice and where the water is. For now though, I will enjoy and learn from the various freelance projects that come my way.

If you or someone you know is interested in having design work done, please feel free to send me an email at bf@ifoundblake.com or give me a call at 480.980.2051 or go to contact in the navigation and click on “leave a message” and do just that, leave me a message.

Thanks for reading about me. Hope to help you with a project soon.
