Hi there! I’m Blake :P
₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎
First things first: I love using design as a form of experimentation and expression! From print to digital, freshly bought Sharpies to the pen tool, I find myself falling more in love with design the more I learn and do.
Last summer, I worked with the Cleveland Cavaliers as a graphic design intern, where I contributed to a plethora of exciting projects! I worked on projects in merchandise, social media campaigns, branding + identity, and promo items. It was a true, beautiful full-circle moment.
To cap off my final year of school at Bowling Green State University, I have been a graphic design intern at the BGSU College of Arts and Sciences! Here, I have worked on various projects in print and digital media, promoting and informing the student body on guest lectures, theatrical performances, and degree program updates and promotions.
As I graduate in May of 2026, I am seeking a graphic design role that promotes experimentation and play!
Outside of design, I also enjoy playing and watching basketball, studying fashion and art history, finding new music, and frequenting antique stores. I also have founded and operate a brand, 1OF1SATURN, where I pull everything I love together to create clothing, accessories, and collectibles.
