About
According to my birth certificate, my name is Dana-Elyra Juinio, but everyone has called me Lyra (including my parents) since the day I was born. I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the School of Art+Design at Purchase College in New York. I just recently moved to San Francisco from New York in search of new opportunities and experiences.
Having a diverse background in the creative field has taught me to adapt to any situation or position and to treat every project given to me, no matter how big or small, with the same passion and enthusiasm. I'm creative, goal-oriented, hardworking, organized, logical and extremely passionate about design. Print design will always be my first love, but I'd love to learn more about interactive and web design.
A few other things about me: I don't think I could never own and e-reader because I love books too much; I'm a sucker for microbrews, good whiskey and coffee; I'm also really into traveling, 80s music, putting together IKEA furniture and Sunday brunch. I love a good Sunday brunch. -
