I’m Trin, the creative mind behind Trin Studios. I’m a type-driven designer who loves experimenting with form and texture to create layouts that feel fresh, expressive, and a little unexpected. My design story began early, through scrapbooking at age 8, where I learned to see design as a way to tell stories and capture moments. That foundation grew into a BFA in Graphic Design from Arkansas State University, along with freelance work that’s shaped my ability to think quickly, adapt, and bring ideas to life. At the heart of it, I love how design lets me translate an experience into something visual—whether it’s print, branding, or social content—and create work that feels intentional, personal, and memorable.
