ABOUT ME
My name is Minhhy Le, you can call me MJ. I am a Freelance Graphic Designer since 2013 based in Charleston, South Carolina. I love logo design, layout design and designing marketing materials; such as print advertising, package design, branding, etc.
​
I have a passion for learning ways to design and new concepts and I take it upon myself to learn from co-workers and friends. In order to gain inspiration for a project, I find myself listening to music and drowning out background noises. It is in this time that I am able to do my best work, without distraction.
​
While I am able to answer questions about my ideas and design inspiration, I prefer to let my work speak for itself. Like me, I want my work to be simple, yet impactful.
