Hey, hey -- my name is Grace Althaus!
I am an aspiring graphic designer who is currently studying at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design.
I have a passion for combining my sense of humor, personal interests, and style with my design; I aim to engage with viewers through comfort and relatability.
My skillset includes being specialized in the Adobe Creative Suite, including Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and AdobeXD. I also tend to dabble in illustration, poster making, social media, and brand identities. My storytelling and brainstorming are some of my strongest assets as I create mood boards and find references for centralized design ideas. With how many industries I'm interested in, it'll be hard to discover what I'm not open-minded to!
"What do I do when I'm not designing?"
That's a phenomenal question; I love to create and listen to my library of Spotify playlists, doom scroll through Pinterest, and enjoy some Wii/competitive college sports.
