Bio/Contact Title

Garrett OieWorking in the graphic design field for the past fifteen or so years has provided me with the privilege of working with a great many clients, both big and small. In the past I have worked with such high profile clients such as Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Brothers, Hanna Barbara, ESPN, Tony Hawk, the World Series of Poker, the Baltimore Orioles, the Washington Capitals, the Washington Redskins, the Baltimore Ravens, Lion Brothers, Under Armor, Kohl's Wal-Mart, Target, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Maryland, and the U.S. Naval Academy to name just a few. I have extensive experience in designing for licensed properties and large corporate entities, but some of the most rewarding projects I have ever worked on have been custom projects for small companies or individuals. Each client has presented its own unique challenges and rewards, but every project has been handled the same - as if it's the most important project in the world - because to every client it is.
