Hey there!
Hi, I'm Iris! I am a graphic designer based in Tucson, Arizona with experience in consumer product design, branding, illustration, and freelance work. I recently graduated from Northern Arizona University with a B.F.A. in Visual Communication with an emphasis in Graphic Design, as well as a B.S. in Mathematics. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, and I’m passionate about using illustration and bold graphic elements to create impactful visuals.
