Designer Brief

As a senior graphic designer and illustrator, I focus on creating meaningful pieces through informed design. I believe that while I cannot plan for timelessness of a design, the best diligence I can do for my client is educating myself as best as possible. I believe that this design and thinking pairing helps to create designs that resonate and hold weight beyond visual aesthetic. 

I have an emphasis on logos, lettering, and print collateral. These are the aspects of design that bring me joy and fulfillment in creating. Each aspect brings its own challenges and the sense of accomplishment upon finishing them, is what has drawn me to design. 

I drive myself to try to grow every single day and create something every single day, even if it sucks. I believe to be in a constant personal challenge of creativity, helps to grow my creative "muscles." I make a (mostly) daily habit of posting another sketch, drawing, or illustration of this process on my instagram @patrickjsymons

Through nine years in the creative field and over five years in a senior creative capacity across two agencies, I have developed a variety of skills and ways of turning passionate creativity into effective campaigns across a variety of mediums. I am in a constant effort to develop greater mastery of not just software tools to be used in design but also greater techniques, new technologies, and staying alert to industry trends. I am always looking to embrace new challenges from clients or prompts to execute brilliant deliverables as part of a greater creative team and community.

Personal Brief

I am a huge dork. I spend a lot of my time drawing, listening to music, and enjoying craft beers. I live with my wife and two dogs in Watauga, where we can often be found on the couch with the flavor of the month netflix show on. I am a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and have a good time keeping up with college friends over fantasy football.
