About Me

The Conn Family

Hi, I am a graphic & visual designer. Originally from Kiev, Ukraine, I have been living in Charlotte for the past 26 years. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a BFA in graphic design. From 2010-2020, I have been working as a full-time graphic designer for UNC Charlotte. I am currently a senior graphic designer for Harris Teeter Corporate.

I have completed a Business Analytics graduate certificate to gain more exposure to the area of marketing analytics, which directly informs my design and adds a valuable perspective to my design efforts. I also recently completed a Human-Computer Interaction graduate certificate to gain more knowledge and skills around interface design.

I am very passionate about design and creativity and love to challenge myself with each project. I have an understanding of where design fits in the overall marketing strategy. I work for a wide rang of clients. With over 10 years of freelance experience and work history, I am available for identify + branding, print, website, visual design, and more.
