Welcome!
Elias D.'s Lettering Portfolio
Hello! My name is Elias!
I am proficient in industry-standard programs used for overseas manga adaptation such as Adobe InDesign and Photoshop and have a bevy of experience with each. I speak, read, and write Japanese semi-fluently, and have a B.S. in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh. When I graduated high school, I was voted Most Artistic, so please don't let me go into the sciences. I hope this portfolio brings the opportunity to work with you closer than ever! Thanks for visiting!
