{7 wonders design} graphic designer Mj Villafaña

My name is Mj Villafaña.

[em-jey] [vee-yuh-fawn-yuh]

And I am a graphic designer. I’ve grown to be pretty well rounded - creating designs for both print and web (and using both mac/pc. Which is better? Here is my answer.)

I earned my degree from Brigham Young University, and since then I have worked for some pretty cool companies along the way. My strange thirst for learning new things has taken me through design to development and on to SEO, which interestingly all leads back to design. The bigger the picture I have, the better my designs can be in the first place.

In my spare time I like to draw and paint. It comes in handy for making my own illustrations (why yes, the watercolors on my site are all mj originals, kind of you to notice!) I also like to travel, which was one inpiration for this site. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.

I specialize in clean web design. Other things I can do for you include: logos, branding, business cards, stationery, brochures, magazines, advertisements, SEO, marketing, and illustrations.

Other fun facts: Hablo español (I minored in Spanish), I have a black belt (don’t be scared), and I know all the words to Yakko's World. My one weakness is I sometimes forget to eat when I’m deeply focused on a design project (but luckily my tummy rumbles quite loudly to remind me.) I am a cookie connoisseur; my chocolate chip recipe is classified. And to conclude, my handsome husband is my muse as well as the reason I have that sweet "~" in my name.
