Who I am

My name is Brandon Correia, I was born and raised in San Francisco California and I have always had a passion for the arts. Beginning my journey with animation in the 7th grade, I now study graphic design at the University of Tennessee. I am a designer who blends strong typography and high-contrast colors to create engaging visual stories.

Education

I went through high school with a strong ambition to be an engineer like my father. When I enrolled in engineering classes in high school, I realized that while I was passionate about problem-solving, engineering wasn’t my calling. When applying for college, I made the decision to follow what I love and applied for a graphic design degree. Eventually, I decided to move across the country to the University of Tennessee to study graphic design. Since then, I’ve thrown myself into my studies with the ambition to build great design.

Inspiration

I often find myself inspired by design that merges creativity and function at the highest level. Furniture and wayfinding design are two examples of functional design that I notice most in the real world. I am also greatly inspired by the design, branding, and campaigns that music artists use to translate their musical sound into visual design.

Who I want to be

I have aspirations of using my creativity on a larger scale. I hope to one day become a creative director and lead the creative vision of designers. I’m interested in the idea of bringing many people together to apply their creativity toward a common goal and operate on the same level of thinking. I hope to gain experience practicing design in the real world post-graduation while working toward a graduate degree in business administration. With knowledge of both design and business, I believe I will be able to reach my goal and use my greatest skill—creativity—to lead and accomplish meaningful objectives.
