ROC/NYC
Hey, I’m Pearson — a graphic designer based at SUNY Purchase who’s into minimal, experimental design with a strong connection to music and community. I like keeping things simple but with a bit of flair, whether that’s through print, motion, or branding. I’ve worked on self-published magazines, animated flyers for DIY shows, music video rollouts, and product packaging—all projects that let me explore storytelling across different mediums.
I’m drawn to studios that value thoughtful craft and cultural relevance, especially those working with artists and musicians. Outside of design, I’m usually flipping through books, watching films, or diving into niche music scenes like Brazilian punk. I’m always looking to collaborate with people who care about creating meaningful, honest work.
