Hi, I’m Michael Loya.
I was born and raised in Connecticut and creating has always been a part of my identity. From cardboard contraptions as a kid to an assortment of art as a growing adult, the creative process has always fascinated me.
When I’m not graphically designing, I’m honing my photography, filmography, and music skills. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a creative mindset, I pride myself on crafting compelling designs and engaging content for various platforms.
Through my academic journey and extracurriculars, I dedicate myself to learning about art and innovation in the ever-evolving landscape of design and multimedia.
