LET’S CONNECT!
My name is Peyton McQuain and I am a graphic designer and illustrator.
I am passionate about combining creativity and technology to craft impactful visuals. I recently graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Science in Art and Technology, along with a minor in Business Administration. My time designing and illustrating for Emerald Media Group’s newspapers and magazines allowed me to refine my skills and develop a clean, modern aesthetic. I love transforming complex ideas into engaging, meaningful designs that connect with audiences. Let’s create something together!
