The Mind Behind the Magic

I’m Gabriella Winston, a passionate graphic designer in the making, working towards my BFA in Graphic Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Whether I’m working on a logo, a digital illustration, or capturing a moment through my camera lens, I’m always looking for creative ways to connect with people through design.

I’ve been immersed in design, media, and all things Adobe throughout my time in High School at Essex North Shore Agricultural and Technical School while studying Design and Media Communications.
