My name is Ray Schwartz. I am a freelance graphic designer located in the Pacific Northwest. I employ the latest digital media technology and my classical art training to create visually stimulating brand identities, innovative advertising media, and edgy product labels and packaging. My clientele includes corporations, well-established companies, and small business startups. Personable approach, diverse background in design, and attention to detail allows me to offer my services in various mediums.

After graduating from Praxis School of Art in Seattle, WA, I entered the business world with a solid knowledge of commercial art and design fundamentals. I started creating logos, album covers and print media for many of the bands including my own who were a part of Seattle music scene in the 80's and in the 90's. Being a professional rock drummer and a graphic designer helped refine my skills in successful branding and marketing. Specializing in commercial airbrush work, I later became a highly skilled custom painter and restorer of exotic vehicles at a prestigious automotive restoration company in Seattle. In addition, I continued to offer my freelance services for clients such as Oakley Eyewear and one of the world's leading public art manufacturers--Fabrication Specialties, Inc.

I always stay true to my classical training while keeping current with the ever changing demands of a digitized art world.
