Hello, I'm Jelani! (He/Him)

I'm a design student from George Town, Grand Cayman. I am in the third year of my Honours Bachelor’s in Arts in Communication, Culture, Information and Technology at the University of Toronto at Mississauga.

I've got a soft spot for poster design, but I also like doing logos, book covers, illustrations, social media, and whatever feels fun! I like design that is simple, clean, communicative with a splash of colour.

When I'm not in class or designing, I like to listen to and make music, study languages (my second major is Linguistics Studies!), and be unreasonably bad at roguelite video games.

About me

I’m skilled with Figma and I am getting better with the apps in the Adobe suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I also do illustrations on the iPad app Procreate.

I have designed for social media and print. I have also had experience writing press releases.
