About
Hello! My name is Trinity, an Illustrator & Graphic Designer based in Los Angeles.
I am currently the Senior Product Packaging Designer at Beauty Creations Cosmetics, specializing in Licensing.
Designs encompass full-turnkey projects, ranging from primary & secondary packaging, to PR collection sets & visual merchandising for retail.
In addition, I also exhibit & design for large-scale trade show booths, such as Cosmoprof, Luxepack, & Licensing Expo.
With my classically trained background, I enjoy infusing aesthetics and pop culture into trendy digital mediums,
all the while ensuring eye-catching compositions and memorable customer experiences.
When not designing, I enjoy “researching” video games, collecting fashionable blind box figurines, & letting the camera eat first.
Feel free to contact me for additional samples of my work or a quick chat!
