i’m sofia
I’m a graphic designer from San Francisco, California.
(in case you didn’t read the landing page)
I’m also an honors student pursuing a dual degree in design and data analytics from Syracuse University.
Though I am only halfway through my time at Syracuse,
I have accomplished a lot (in my opinion).
– designed and published two magazines while serving
as Design Director of a major on-campus magazine for
two (soon to be three) semesters
– designed three apparel drops for a student-run dance
organization that I’m also a part of
– designed posters and billboards for a potentially
OSCAR-nominated short film
– designed an entire brand start to finish
– designed a custom typeface
– designed my custom portfolio in figma
– cleaned, sorted, scraped, and created more databases
than you can imagine.
anddddd here’s
my resume:
(if you really need to hear more)
EDUCATION
some of my other talents include:
– skiing double black diamonds (west
coast black diamonds) (just saying)
– solving the NYT crossword puzzle daily
with impressive speed
– altering my clothes right before I’m
going to wear them
– watercolor painting
– dancing (mostly hip-hop)
– naming that song
