Vernicia Colon

Graphic Designer / Art Director / Motion Designer

Bronx, NY, USA
My name is Vernicia Colon (pronounced VER-NEE-CEE-A). I have an analytical eye for structural and minimalistic design that is driven by conceptual thinking. My desire to solve visual problems through design, Design has given me opportunities to utilize all aspects of my experience, and pushes me to see the bigger picture. I push to create visually stunning work that considers the viewer, the message, and the personality of each project.
