Clarisa Catalina

I originally thought I was destined to become a fashion designer, and dreamed of being on Project Runway. But New York wasn’t my idea of home, and I went into college picking ADPR as my major because I was a decent writer and didn’t find anything else that appealed to me.

I started working in print shops and realized there was an entire world of design outside of artists simply painting landscapes on canvas, like Robert Norman Ross in the 90’s.

My knowledge of branding for business, hand lettering, and painting, was self-taught. I spent lots of time watching and learning (and still do), until I grasped the fundamentals. Every project I work on forces me to challenge myself, my ability, and my imagination more and more, and the heart I put into each client is reflected in the beautiful designs I create to represent their talent and work.
