ILLUSTRATOR AND DESIGNER

Hi! I'm Lavae, a creator based in Atlanta, GA. My academic journey led me to Bowling Green State University, where I pursued Graphic Design as my major. Over the years, I've garnered experience as a graphic designer in diverse industries, ranging from corporate and live sports networks to retail and agencies. Eventually, I made the transition into freelancing as an art director and senior graphic designer.

I've been fortunate to collaborate on contract projects with prestigious clients like Red Bull, Nike, Puma, BET Networks, Twitter, and more. These opportunities have not only allowed me to expand my skill set but have also opened doors I once deemed unimaginable. Operating under the banner of my creative service hub, Lavae Studio, LLC, I bring together various artistic disciplines, including design, fine art, illustration, and graphic design.

My work is characterized by an intense artistic approach and an unwavering passion for crafting visually captivating images of the highest quality.
