Proven animator/graphic designer with over twenty years of experience working with famous entertainers, film producers, small business owners, large corporations, and local government, including the City of Philadelphia Mayor’s Office. I specialize in creating custom designs that turn concepts and visions into reality.
Human stories and brand systems, created with care for the details.
Design and content across distinct restaurant brands, from menus and signage to promotions, photography, and digital displays.
Visual coverage of a place where people can find immediate behavioral health support. The work brings the setting and the people behind the service into focus.
For Ciconte’s Restaurant Group, I bring each brand’s personality to life through web design, menu design, food photography, and visual storytelling. I create cohesive visuals that showcase the food, capture the atmosphere, and connect guests with the experience each restaurant offers.

I’m Lawrence Connell, a South Jersey-based multimedia artist and Senior Content Manager for Cicontes Restaurant Group.
I’ve worked across graphic design, animation, photography, and video for more than two decades. Stricklygraphics is where that range comes together.
My process starts with listening and ends with something useful: an honest film, a memorable image, or a brand piece that works where people actually see it.
