Enchante. Allow Me To Introduce Myself

I am Caryn Ann, a Graphic Designer and Illustrator hailing from Madison, Wisconsin. I specialize in printed media, packaging, branding, and fashion Illustration. Welcome to Caryn vs the World online. Please feel free to peruse through my portfolios and see what I’m all about.

Now for the (Auto)biographic part.

I've been an artist since birth, my mother says, 'ever since I could hold a crayon'. My favorite part of every school year was always all of the new markers, colored pencils, and pens. Doodling was always my focus. Which I'm sure drove some of my teachers crazy.

Nearly my entire life has been spent around, television, print, and radio. Many years were devoted to bouncing between home, NYC, LA, and Paris. I spent these years in front of cameras, on runways, socializing, and soaking in the fashion culture.

It was recently, after four years abroad, that I decided it was time to come back home and go back to school. The driving need to create art, and a growing fondness for Photoshop and the web led me to Graphic Design. Upon my return I enrolled at MATC, where I graduated with honors and a portfolio of merit in December of 2009. Wide eyed and excited for whatever life brings next.
