I am a Graphic Design student based in the Los Angeles area.
Originally, the plan was to create designs as a side hobby and focus on something else, but after researching graphic design at its current state, I wanted to try and use my skills to make things that build identity. Graphic design is more than just a logo, cover and packaging, there’s a story and a mind behind all designs, and I feel that it isn’t really talked about enough when discussing graphic design. My goal is to work on building a vision for the future of graphic design, and learning from success and failures I face during the process. I like to make designs that are simple and contemporary, but have a lot of character and thoughtful crafting that some feel are missing in today’s world. I support this idea by looking at evolutions of all kinds of designs over the decades and really look in to how they have changed based on the world around them, and applying them to my creative process.
