Hi! I’m Connie Bisson, a nerd first and graphic designer second. I specialize in page layout, illustration, and branding, with a touch of motion graphics. I’m inspired by bold typography, vibrant color, and compelling storytelling. I enjoy experimenting with various design styles to learn new skills. I also like to collaborate with fellow creatives to bring ideas to life and deliver impactful designs. Outside of design, I love reading, overanalyzing movies and shows, doing puzzles, logging on Letterboxd and Serialzd, and eating at food carts.
