Hello, my name is Cameran Holiday! I was born and raised in Southern California.
I have studied and practiced graphic arts throughout my academic career and graduated from Pepperdine University in 2016 with a B.A. in Theatre Arts.
I have always had an incorrigible passion for robots, superheroes, monsters, and more, and my interests have perpetually fueled my hunger to learn new mediums and softwares. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, with backgrounds in 2D art, sculpture, papercraft, toy customization and restoration, cosplay, performance arts, stagecraft, and animation. In the past year I have also experimented with 3D CAD and 3D printing!
This is my first Soundwave. I couldn't afford one as a kid, so I made one myself out of graph paper, rubber bands, and brass brads. His guns even store in the legs as batteries!
I have worked as Head of Graphic Design and Quality Control at a luxury handbag brand since 2012 and a Freelance Illustrator making aftermarket upgrade sticker sets for Transformers toys, Lego, and more since 2016. I thrive in any environment that cultivates creativity and generally find myself handling the following responsibilities: product design, digital mock-ups, product presentation and pitching, advertisements, web design, project / team management, art collaboration, package design, Amazon partnerships, and direct-to-consumer events! I never shy away from a challenge and am always ready to pick up a new skillset!

To whom it may concern,
Cameran Holiday is a freelance graphic designer that has done work for our company for approximately 8 years, providing quality digital artwork, research, and project coordination on a regular basis. Throughout this time, he has proven not only to be of the highest caliber, consistently surpassing any and all expectations I had of him, but also to be an invaluable asset to the company.
It is worth highlighting that as a freelance designer, Cameran was not beholden to the standards of our in-house staff. Despite this, he has demonstrated extraordinary leadership abilities, guiding even the highest echelons of management in important company decisions. Further still, he has set the example by truly investing himself in his role within our company - a fact which gives him a passionate and enthusiastic approach to his assignments.
To touch briefly on his work ethic, it is, frankly, beyond reproach. His work is widely known to be highly detailed, and extremely well thought out. It is self-evidently clear from the quality of his designs that hours upon hours have been poured into every last aspect of his projects. Everything is always finished promptly, and he is always eager for more work.
Our company is located in Chatham, a small city in Ontario Canada. Were it not for the hundreds of miles and the border between us, we would have offered Cameran a position years ago, without hesitation. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Sincerely,
Alex Black
Dominie Brazzel - CEO - Dominie Luxury
