My name is John Stoyles. I am a professional, independent (freelance) packaging and graphic designer based in the United States. I design the graphic artwork for packaging.

Graphic design encompasses everything communicated visually on the package including images, color, pattern, typography, logos, diagrams, illustration and photography.

The packaging I create artwork for can be as simple as a single adhesive label through to a complex cardboard structure complete with inserts and user guides.
