Hi, I’m Bridgette Sanok

I am a graphic designer and graduated from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. My areas of expertise and interest encompass brand design, motion graphics, UI/UX design, illustration, and print design.

My design philosophy centers around the values of compassion and curiosity. I believe that by approaching each project with empathy and a thirst for knowledge, I can create meaningful and impactful designs. Circles symbolize the continuous cycle of evolution and growth. With this in mind, I have chosen to represent my personal brand using reimagined circles.
