bianca smith
is a Graphic Designer/Illustrator based in DC & NY
From a young age, I aspired to become a fashion designer. Growing up between Goshen and Brooklyn, New York, I expressed my passion for fashion through rocking vibrant sneakers on my weekend trips in and out of the city. Moving to Arizona introduced me to an entrepreneurial culture, where I recognized the need for effective business collaterals such as logos and brochures. This sparked my interest in creative expression through illustrations.
My formal education in graphic design at the University of Oregon refined these skills, and I have continued to develop them professionally. My role as a sales representative at Verizon presented new challenges, ultimately leading me to a position that harmonizes visual art with the practical needs of Verizon's sales teams.
I am deeply passionate about creating engagement through visual imagery. Looking ahead, I aim to expand the application of design to foster community - whether in a business context, within a neighborhood, or at a family gathering.
