Hi, I’m Ita!

I’m a graphic design major at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. With a background in fine arts and a minor in visual culture, I approach design holistically, meaning I not only consider the creative and aesthetic elements, but also leverage its capacity to spark conversations and inspire new ways of thinking. I’m passionate about finding and creating fresh perspectives through shapes and forms with a focus on boldness and originality. With years of working as a freelance illustrator and passion for animation, I’m dedicated to leveraging my skills in print and motion design in the creative industry.
