TL;DR
Heya, I’m Jason.
I’m a graphic designer and illustrator. For the past 12 years I have been living and working in Thailand, as the lead graphic designer at Loose Riders, where we’ve grown a successful sports and streetwear brand with global distribution. I also design for several other related streetwear brands for sale to Western customers. I have continued to work on freelance projects throughout - particularly in the combat sports industry.
Currently looking for new opportunities both freelance, and in-house.
Willing to relocate globally.
