Who I Am

I’m Justin, a graphic designer and illustrator with a passion for character design. With over a decade of experience in the creative industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects that have allowed me to develop my skills and explore my love for storytelling through visuals.

Loch11 is the culmination of my passion for design and character creation, and my desire to create meaningful, impactful work that resonates with people. Loch11 exists to provide high-quality design and illustration services that are rooted in creativity, intention, and community.

What We Stand For

The Mission.

01

Design with Intention

Design is more than just aesthetics — it’s about solving problems, communicating ideas, and creating connections. Every project I take on is approached with intention and purpose, whether it’s a logo, a character, or an illustration. I believe that good design should not only look great but also serve a clear function and resonate with its audience.

02

Characters with Soul

Character design is a passion of mine because I love creating personalities and stories through visuals. I strive to give each character I design a unique identity and a sense of soul, whether they’re a mascot for a brand or a character in a comic. I believe that characters should be more than just visually appealing — they should evoke emotion, spark imagination, and create a connection with the audience.

03

Always Learning

Design is ever-evolving and so am I. I'm committed to continuous growth, whether that’s mastering new tools, exploring different styles, or learning from other creatives. I believe that staying curious and open to new ideas is key to creating work that resonates and stands the test of time.

04

Community Matters

The creative industry should be about community, not competition. I believe in sharing knowledge, supporting fellow creatives, and building a network where everyone can thrive. Loch11 is not just about the work we produce, but about the connections we foster and the collective growth we can achieve together.
