Hello,
My name is Nate Garcia, and I am a Graphic Designer from Illinois. I am currently a student at Illinois State University, pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Sports have always been a part of my life, as a fan or participant, the level of commitment and work that each game takes to put together was always so interesting to me. Freshman year, I injured myself playing football, and that forced me to find another way to support the team. I did that through sports design.
I started my high school football team's account and started posting designs, leading to a total of 700 followers in less than two years. Since then, I've been in love with sports design, and it drew me to apply for my current internship.
I currently work for Illinois State Athletics, creating designs for their socials, videoboards, print, etc. As I enter my third year in college, I look forward to learning every aspect of design and improving my current skills.
Best,
Nate
