In My Own Words
Justin Roy is a graphic designer based out of Wisconsin whose world revolves around brand identity and packaging design. He has worked with many clients such as Milwaukee Tool, Empire Level, Ubisoft, Dell, and Siemens to name a few. His skill set is vast, but also has a passion for learning and sharing his knowledge with the people around him. When he is not behind the computer shredding those pixels you can find him out on the slopes shredding that white space on a mountain or traveling the world to find that next big source of inspiration for his next big project.
