Profile
This is me
My Name is Rachel N. Askari, I’m a graphic designer based in San Diego. I Graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in May 2022. I majored in Communication and double minored in Media Production and Leadership. Through my Media production Minor, I have learned about essential software used in the design world. I look forward to being continuing to learn new applications as they are developed.
​
A huge part of my life, especially during the pandemic, has been art. Art has been a hobby of mine since I was young and has continued to grow throughout high school and college. Before beginning digital art practices in college, I took art classes all throughout high school, mainly creating work through watercolor, pens, and sculpture. Most recently, I have been working on photography, animation, and stained glass work.
​
Since graduating, I have begun a graphic design internship with KGNU Community Radio Station based in Boulder, Colorado. I am excited to see what will come these next few years.
