Graphic designer Karen To launches Epiclayers

Graphic design by Karen To

Epiclayers is graphic designer Karen To‘s portfolio. She is a young designer, illustrator and form-maker who recently graduated from CalArts BFA graphic design program and we’re proud to tell you she is available for free-lance work! I particularly love her combination of colors, her different styles of illustration and the work she did with type creation. So, have a look, there’s also some great images from motion design (although not yet displayed as videos) and some experiment stuff. I think it is interesting to discover young (but mature) portfolios among those renowned artists…
