Hi! My name is Quinn, and I’m from Rochester, NY. I’m a graphic designer and photographer passionate about elevating brands through unique visual strategies.
I recently completed an internship with NBCUniversal, working for the Oxygen True Crime cable network. During my time there, I created key art, logos, and motion graphics for upcoming true crime shows.
I grew up in a family of fine artists but initially forged my own path. I picked up photography in middle school, and in 2020, pandemic-induced boredom (PIB) led me to discover graphic design. I fell in love with the ability to create whatever I wanted in Photoshop, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Now, I study graphic design at the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, continually refining my skills and creative approach.
