Mia Diacono - Graphic Designer
Hello, my name is Mia and
I have a way with words.
Hello, my name is Mia, and I have a way with words. They give me life and I give it right back. As a designer I am passionate about meaning, composition, and concept. I love creating design that is easy to understand, easy to use, and inclusive. Creativity, for me, can only happen after careful thinking, researching, and planning. I tend to ask myself a lot of questions about each project, and when I can successfully answer those questions with my design, I know I’ve finished.
Expression and articulation are the paramount elements of my design. I believe in design that speaks to its viewer. I believe appealing design is that which is inclusive and friendly, seeking to go beyond simply resembling beauty, and, instead, reaching deeper to create meaning and concept.
I am from Riverside, California and graduated with my Bachelors of Arts from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California. I specialize in being well rounded and learning the latest and greatest. I have a special love for UX Design, web design, organization, layout, and typography.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
