Caitlin Azevedo
Cait. Graphic Design
San Ramon, CA, USAHi! My name is Caitlin, but you can call me Cait. I have a light-hearted, fun and whimsical personality but am serious when it comes to my work. The twenty-three years (and counting) I have spent as an equestrian have taught me to be responsible, conscientious, and disciplined; these traits have carried over into my creative process. Utilizing my attention to minute detail, strong conceptualization abilities and communicative skills, I produce compositions that truly display the authentic identity of the individual, company or organization I am designing for.
