A haiku of what I do
Creating is fun
Designer, Illustrator
Creative thinker
My name is David Laferriere, and I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a strong background in both print and digital media, particularly in publishing.
Recently, I worked in higher education as the lead designer for a college alumni magazine, created collateral for various campus clients, managed a digital asset system, and supported brand management efforts. My focus throughout my career has been visually designing stories and digital assets that engage audiences, encouraging them to read more or take action
I also drew on my kids’ sandwich bags, experiment with ChromaDepth 3D Art, and anamorphic art, make cut-n-fold paper things, and mess around with WordPress.
