cruzmandesign is John Cruz

Cruzmandesign will create the designs, look and feel you want for any graphic design project you need.

When you want to visually exceed expectations, you have to decide if you want to just get by or make a statement that will make a lasting impact (I like making an impact)....

A little background
I was always sketching and drawing since I was a child, but getting an education helped me refine the ideas I had in my head. My first stop was The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, good experience, but still paying for it.

After that, I freelanced and worked full-time designing while gaining valuable experience and networking connections. I realized, however, that I needed to sharpen my skills so I went back to school to pick up a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Youngstown State University. Hey, it got me a new position and raise at my full-time gig.

Now, I squeeze in a few design hours a week to pop out corporate identity packages for churches and organizations, music cd labels for recording artists and a website here and there. Oh well, gotta get back to designing...
