Erika Leggett
Graphic Design
Erika Leggett works as a graphic designer in her native city of Beaumont, Texas. She completed her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic Design in Spring 2017 from Lamar University. Leggett combines the styling from traditional studio art disciplines, such as pen and ink illustration work and painting with computer editing software, to create an organic design while maintaining a modern aesthetic relevant to contemporary viewers.
Currently, Leggett's graphic design focuses on developing designs with the user’s experience in mind. She personally aspires to share with the community at large quality designs that improve users’ interaction experiences and visual environment. Movements throughout the history of graphic design, paired with design thinking methods, the elements of art, and the principles of design serve as constant sources of inspiration for graphic design solutions.
Leggett's talents encompass a variety of disciplines, including graphic design, photography, illustration, and watercoloring, as well as design thinking and solutions.
