Amber Colón

Graphic Designer & Illustrator

Hi! I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a passion for branding, whimsy, and music. I love using my interdisciplinary skillset to create atmospheric designs that fuse playfulness with sophistication.

Outside of design, I love horror movies, mystery books, crocheting, and making playlists!
