Who Is The Graphics Guy?

Meet Jim Masie AKA “The Graphics Guy”.

Jim can honestly say “he loves what he does for a living”. An honors graduate of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Jim has turned what he considers a “childhood hobby” into a fun career.

What makes Jim a valuable designer is his ability to fill many artistic roles… not only a Graphic Designer, he’s also an accomplished Web Designer and Illustrator – a rare achievement for a professional in his field.

As an employee (and freelancer) Jim has created designs for the National Football League, Major League Baseball, Collegiate Licensing Company, The American Legion, Arby’s Restaurants, and PPG Industries.

He owns Mace Designs, a small business that offers graphic design/web design/illustration services and Graphic Gecko, a graphic apparel line.

Jim lives in Olmsted Township, Ohio (suburb of Cleveland) with his wife Colleen, sons Collin & Jacob, and his dog Bernie. When he’s not designing, Jim prefers to spend time with his wife and sons. He also enjoys sports, television, movies, traveling, history, surfing the net and hanging out with family and friends.
