Hi, I’m Connor Dillon, a graduate graphic design student from the University of Newcastle who loves a creative challenge. I’ve focused on branding and illustration, with an ability to adapt to brand guidelines and apply these in marketing environments. While my degree built a strong foundation in design skills, my experience with GUCHAT and Myrtec has strengthened my ability to work as part of a fast-paced team, blending strategy and creativity. In my spare time I enjoy illustrating and taking on online design challenges. I’m always seeking to improve, and in an industry that’s constantly evolving, I plan to evolve with it. I’m eager to continue developing through hands-on projects and collaborating with diverse teams to deliver compelling visual identities and engaging motion graphics.
