Introducing Richard Solis 💻

Richard Solis is a graduate MFA student and graphic designer from Refugio. He holds a BFA degree from Texas A&M-Kingsville and 13 years of professional design experience in higher education marketing, news media, and advertising. He’s a multifaceted designer with work ranging from clean and corporate to dark and gritty. When he’s not working on branding and event pieces for Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, he’s thinking of clever ways to integrate illustrative elements and handmade lettering into his work. "Throughout his design journey, he’s focused on areas such as visual branding, exploring typography and letterforms, developing digital illustrations, and has even taught lower-level design courses as an adjunct instructor. Mentoring and teaching have been at the core of his work at TAMU-CC Marketing and Communications, and in the classroom as he has worked with many design students in the program over the past few years. Upon graduation, he plans to continue working at the Island University and aspires to take on a future creative leadership role. When he’s not at the office, Richard enjoys playing and collecting video games, practicing his drawing, painting, and printmaking skills, listening to music, and thrifting.

Introducing Julia Coleman 💻

Julia Coleman is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in Ingleside, Texas. She describes her design style as bold, fun, modern and versatile. Her love of the arts and all things creative has led her to Graphic Design, where her traditional art skills have truly blossomed into new mediums. Even though she is well-versed in the digital world, between designing she also loves to just whip out a pencil and paper to draw. Her favorite aspect of design is brand and identity, because she likens each brand to a ‘character’ that she can flesh out. She enjoys exploring the brand ‘character’s’ voice, style, psychology, personality, appearance, and their everyday ‘accessories’ (i.e., brand extensions, applications, etc.). She also values human-made art and design, meaning creating original and unexpected solutions is always something she is passionate about doing herself, with no AI required (not even for this bio). She is ambitious and enjoys a challenge, so even if she is unfamiliar with a style, program, or culture, she will be sure to thoroughly research and be fully immersed in whatever she dabbles in. She loves a challenge, and regularly tests the limits of what she can do with her skills and creative eye. Julia has a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and a minor in marketing from Texas A&M University Corpus-Christi. In her free time, she enjoys drawing, writing, singing, watching movies and shows, and playing with her 3 family dogs. When she finds the time to draw, her favorite things to draw are people, specifically characters and portraits.
