Hi and welcome to my portfolio. My name is Lee Warchal, a freelance Graphic Designer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. My experience covers a wide range of projects across various industries having involvement in every step of the way from the concept to production. As I am approaching 20 years of painting pixels, I've been fortunate to have worked with some very cool brands and people along the way.
Along with my graphic design services, I run Proof of Package, a packaging comp studio. Offering high quality mockups and prototypes to packaging designers, engineers and manufacturers. Using Roland LEC UV wide format printers, I create fully functional one-off cartons to help bring a new packaging ideas to life. This provides a great way to see what new cartons, labels or displays will look like before they hit the store shelves.
