Kevin House, also known as Kevin Creative, has an award-winning design and illustration studio located on the west coast of Canada. Before becoming a freelance designer and illustrator, he spent a few years in advertising agencies and design studios as a graphic designer. Those demanding, creatively fruitful years gave him the experience and confidence to set up a freelance business in 2006. Today, his clients are small to mid-sized creative studios and his focus is on illustration and logo design. Since 2014, Kevin has been using Affinity Designer almost exclusively for his 2D illustration work and loves the ease of use and array of creative options it brings to the table.
