TYPE OF WORK NEEDED:

- Graphics
- Logos
- Websites

- Mobile Apps
- UI/UX: User Interface & User Experience.  User Interface is very specific.  It involves everything designed into an information device with which a human being may interact--including display screen, keyboard, mouse, light pen, the appearance of a desktop, illuminated characters, help messages, and how an application program or a Web site invites a visitor, and so forth.  Okay, this was helpful.  You can design pages and email lists from AWeber or MailChimp for emotion, something fun and cute that will not offend but only incite and massage the heart.
