Hi there!

Mark Garrison, graphic designer and illustrator in Victoria, BC

My name is Mark Garrison and I’m a graphic designer and illustrator based in Victoria, BC, Canada. I have more than 20 years of experience producing creative work in a variety of media and using strategic thinking to build and grow projects.

I create clean, user-focused designs with an emphasis on effective communication and approach my work from a strategic standpoint, letting goals inform the process and tailoring my design approach to match. I am open to freelance graphic design and illustration projects, so please contact me for an estimate. Some areas that I can help you with are document layout, packaging design, editorial illustration, and infographics. 

It is important to me that I work with clients in a spirit of collaboration and trust and that my clients can rely on the fact that I will deliver what I say I will, when I say I will.

I have spent the last 10 years as the art director for Hakai Magazine, an online publication covering coastal science and societies. It has been a privilege to have that opportunity to collaborate with world-class photographers, videographers, illustrators, and designers.

I have a background in agency graphic design work as well as freelancing, but before focussing exclusively on graphic design I also worked as a recording engineer, taught recording classes, and wrote The Encyclopedia of Home Recording, a resource book for the home recording studio.
