I'm a designer based in LA & NYC. After a past life in advertising and marketing strategy, I now work as a Graphic Designer at Modern Impact, spanning everything from brand identity to advertising to print.
I'm naturally curious, so design gives me the perfect excuse to keep asking "why?" and call it research.
Hi there! I'm
Connie.
When I’m not designing: I’m watching or playing tennis (rooting for Ben Shelton & Naomi Osaka), working through my current hobby rotation (right now it's patternmaking and learning plein air painting with gouache), and collecting way too many notebooks I will mostly likely never, ever write in.
Let's work together!
A fun visual of my design journey:
(Psst...I made this with HTML/CSS)
COVID gave me clarity on what I wanted to do, so I left my job to fully commit to graphic design.
Turning point:
First leap:
Learned design at Shillington, built a portfolio, but let imposter syndrome steer me back to corporate America.
"Practical" beginnings:
Studied Finance while designing flyers and tees for student groups in college.
Corporate chapter:
Worked in advertising, honing skills in storytelling, & client management—while always being the “visuals” person.
Full circle:
My winding path shaped me into a designer who thinks like a strategist and creates with intent!
