About
Hello there, I’m Newton!
After having worked as an in-house designer and doing freelance graphic design and illustration work on the side for more than five years, I have finally decided to take my design skills to the next level.
That decision has since led me to solve visual identity problems for a number of clients, which include startups and nonprofits.
My interactions with these entities have made me realize that there’s always a story behind every cause, product, organization, or person and that my responsibility is to make sure that story is told in a visually compelling way that inspires action.
Testimonials
Co-Founder at Strive
"Newton worked with me and my co-founder on our company's logo design. Even though our company is very different in terms of the industry as well as the target audience to the organisations Newton has previously worked in, I was delighted that he took on the challenge in his stride, with a positive attitude, curiosity and excitement. I was also greatly impressed with the framework and process that he took me through, which helped us come up with a far more concrete vision of how we want to present ourselves to our target audience. Heading in this direction, Newton created a sleek, elegant logo for us that has received great feedback from our clients. I was also delighted with his turnaround time whenever we had further suggestions for design ideas we could play with. All in all, Newton is creative and dedicated; I have no reservations in recommending him."
Community Director at Hedonisia Hawaii Sustainable Community
"Newton has created a number of graphics and logos for our EcoFeminist Entrepreneur web projects. Though our community is based in Hawaii our projects have a global reach and Newton was able to create thoughttul and effective graphics and logos. Plus he is easy to communicate and work with, even over long distance."
Founder & CEO of The Good Game
"Newton is an excellent visual designer. Whenever we add a person to the team, we look for someone who is kind and big-hearted, but at the same time, we also look for someone with an unrelenting work ethic and someone who performs at a high level. Newton holds an exceptional talent when it comes to visual details and layout as seen on the design work he did for us. He is truly a great team member. It was fantastic to see how his skills developed from a junior graphic designer to that of a senior one. If you wish to work with Newton, you will have a wonderful time. Nice person to work with! Highly recommended!"
President of Drop in the Bucket
"Newton is a very talented and creative graphic designer who is able to take direction and leave you with a finished result that exceeds your original concepts. I was very impressed with Newton's professionalism, candor and work ethic."
Co-Founder of The Good Cards
"I really enjoyed working with Newton on several design projects. There are a few “super powers” that Newton has. First of all, communication with him is very good. His kindness makes working on every project very pleasurable. Secondly, he is a very fast learner. I remember how eager he was to educate himself when it comes to improving his graphic design skills. It was great to observe his growth. There were different types of graphic design projects we collaborated on, and I think he can easily adjust to new projects. I admire that he is assertive. In many cases, he can very well explain to me why we shouldn’t design what I have envisioned. Newton is flexible and very open to feedback from the managers, both to his design work and to the way he operates. I see his talent, passion, and patience towards the art of graphic design and I know that it will lead him to mastery in the field."
CEO of Ebena
"Newton has been supporting our non-profit organization with design work since 2015. He is a dedicated, skilled and detail-oriented designer. We are very lucky to work with him, and we are very impressed and satisfied with the quality of his work."
UX Design Intern at Better World International
"I worked closely with Newton at BetterWorld International in 2016. We shipped a social do-good mobile app game called “The Good Cards”, the first app designed where the User could track their good deeds and influence across the world.
Newton designed the entire app along with the UX and Gamification teams. His talent at branding The Good Cards really made this app pop! He was unfailingly patient, creative, flexible and dependable through a very challenging period of rapid prototyping, testing and reiterations. He never lost his wonderful enthusiasm for this huge project and was always ready with constructive feedback and proactive ideas. His clear communications kept our teams on-point throughout our multiple projects.
In short, Newton’s a Design Superstar and I can’t wait to work with him again! Thanks so much, Newton!"
