Hi, my name is Keebs and I'm an illustrator/designer/developer.

About Keebs

Most know me by "Keebs" but my real name is John. You can call me whatever you feel most comfortable with. I am a twenty-seven-year-old Los Angeles based illustrator/designer/developer and I take great pride in my work.

While enrolled at the California State University of Northridge as an art major, I studied a variety of interests including 2D/3D animation, graphic design, and illustration. Additionally, I studied web development on my own time to expand my knowledge in the field.

My objective when working on a project is simple: Understand the client's needs and deliver an effective and aesthetically pleasing design that I can be proud to call my own.
