Laura Hullfish

Graphic design is a functional art that continues to evolve from humble beginnings; the designer should similarly evolve with the form. As a designer, I feel that I mature with my work. It’s communicative art form that merges many fields and allows coherent creations for all audiences. Print and web designs with a thought out concept make graphic design a more understandable, which I strive to do in my work in order to make my designs more universal and approachable.

My designs come from the various experiences in design and influences thus far in my career. My process, typically, is to take a classic design and revamp it into something very distinct and to create a symbolic value within the design. I’m continuously refining my style, but my passion for the art never ceases. Graphic design has provided me an outlet for clearly communicating with audiences, which is something I’ve worked on for a significant part of my life. I want to establish strong relationships and enduring art. This medium has not only provided a channel for me to communicate as an artist but it has provided a career and vivacious lifestyle.

Artistically I want to achieve a one-of-a-kind personal identity, experience, and service.

Design energizes and enlivens me, and I want my audiences to share that enthusiasm. I want my style to merge my inspirations into cohesive and logical designs that are lasting and impressionable.
