LEOPOLD RYAN WALTER
GRAPHIC DESIGNER & DIGITAL ARTIST
ABOUT
My interest in design began at a very young age and grows stronger as I learn more. My family encouraged me to explore my creativity as a kid, and I thank them for that; I am proud of the abilities I have today. Being in such an open and artistic environment really helped to form my understanding of art and design as a whole. As a designer, I know that my work should not only be visually appealing but also serve as a successful means of communication.
During my schooling, I spent a lot of time in the studio refining my own personal style and technique, which led me to get my first internship and start creating pieces for my professional portfolio. Since then, I have worked on hundreds of pieces for various clients and projects, spanning both print and digital media.
Today, my portfolio consists of unique and innovative branding solutions, creative compositions, and pieces that draw in the viewers’ eyes. Each piece displays a range of bold colors, strong typography and structure, and/or a story or thought provoking message.
As I continue to evolve as a designer, I will make it a point to push the boundaries of visual communication, and remain focused on creating timeless pieces that spark conversation, thought, reflection, and curiosity.
