I'm Courtlyn O'Boyle, a graphic designer with a penchant for flowery language and thoughtful design. I can design bold typography in a minimalistic grid one instant, then grunge it up with halftones and sketch outlines the next. I am a designer that sees the world in both RGB and CMYK. My design career is partially self-taught curiosity with formal study. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, studying how meaning is shaped by the way it is delivered. My current training in the Interactive Design program has taught me to apply this same understanding to visual communication. Every project has a narrative, and every brand a voice.
