About Me
Hi! I’m Adam Levermore, and I’m a freelance graphic designer and the Design Director for Quantum Mechanix. I’ve worked on licensed products for Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Serenity, Firefly, Stargate and more. I specialize in a found-art style of design with a heavy emphasis on authenticity. I like to design things that feel well worn, so I spend a lot of time researching fonts, design styles and printing methods to make sure my designs have a realistic, lived-in feel.
My experience runs the gamut from print, web and logo design to retail packaging and illustration. I’m currently available for new projects, so please feel free to contact me.
