Nice to meet you! I’m Justin.
Hey there, thanks for wanting to know a little bit more about me! I’m a multidisciplinary designer who is passionate about creating visuals that tell stories and shed light on minoritized communities. I studied Graphic Design, Communications, and Media Studies at Colorado State University and believe that social awareness and change can be accomplished through art. These areas of study blend quite well with each other, since it allows me to be up to date on current events, while having the opportunity to design new things that spark from them. I was also initially studying Civil Engineering for a year before switching to Graphic Design, which I feel is important since I sometimes see those aesthetics influence my work today.
Music is one of my main sources of inspiration, so if you ever bring up music, expect me to go on a 10 minute rant about certain artists or genres. If music’s not really your thing, I’m always eager to learn more about different cultures and be up to date with all the latest news and trends. As someone who was born and raised in Aurora, Colorado, I love hearing about other people’s experiences, since it allows me to build a better understanding of the world around me.
