Ideas Made Visible

Hi, I’m Isaac Carter — a Chicago-based graphic designer graduating this spring with a BA in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago. I specialize in branding and identity design, creating visual systems that are striking, cohesive, and meaningful.

My passion for design began in middle school, inspired by the power of storytelling. As someone who found connection through narratives, I approach design as a way to foster understanding and emotional resonance. Rooted in modernist principles, my work blends clean aesthetics with depth and clarity.

At Columbia, I honed my skills in branding, typography, and layout design, often drawing inspiration from themes of space, technology, and food. I believe good design is more than visual — it’s about accessibility, representation, and impact.

Outside of design, I’m inspired by Chicago’s creative energy, a good sci-fi novel, and exploring new ideas. I’m currently open to new opportunities and collaborations. Let’s connect.
