My name is Conner Booth, and I am a cat dad.
Whew, glad I got that off my chest. I am also a Dallas/Fort Worth-based graphic designer with a keen interest for illustration and photography.
I attended Mississippi State University, where I studied fine arts with a concentration in graphic design. I somehow found the extra time to be a member of Lab Rats Improv Comedy, MSU Fashion Board, and TheatreMSU.
Following my graduation in 2018, I dedicated my first five years to serving as an in-house graphic designer for an e-commerce brand specializing in the wholesale/retail gift industry.
In my free time, you can catch me browsing local antique stores, hiking or rollerblading down nature trails, or scouring the library to find my next read.
