Graphic Designer
I'm a multidisciplinary designer with a background in Studio Arts. I am passionate about the process of making, exploring the combination of digital with analog, and working iteratively. I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in English; with a brief hiatus to study abroad in London at UAL: Central Saint Martins. I'm known for being a hard worker, having an acute attention to detail, and an enthusiastic can-do attitude. Check out my portfolio here: leylaarici.myportfolio.com
