Austin Silveira
Graphic Designer
San Diego, CA, USAAs a graphic designer, visual artist, and critical thinker, I create work that is both authentic and innovative. With a BFA in Graphic Design + Digital Media, I strive to design solutions that reflect the world I’d like to live in.
As a Southern California native, west coast culture influences my personal sense of style alongside my affinity for twentieth century pop-culture. This has led me to a fascination with retro aesthetics. My skills in design, illustration, and my interest in art history also contributes to my visual design thinking.
Impactful design takes many forms and can influence change. We live in a digital landscape and are bombarded with a plethora of visual imagery. Versatility and my ability to engage with others helps me to curate the best outcomes. When I’m not designing, I stay inspired through photography, collecting thrifted clothes, or surrounding myself with people and things that bring joy to my life.
