Trista Curran

I’m a designer from Southwest Wisconsin with a passion for creating work that feels both intentional and visually engaging. Growing up in a small-town area has given me a strong appreciation for authenticity, creativity, and the details that make something feel personal. At the same time, I’ve always loved traveling and experiencing new places, which continues to inspire the way I think, create, and approach design.

I’m currently preparing to graduate from Southwest Wisconsin Technical College with a degree in Graphic and Web Design. During my time in the program, I’ve built a strong foundation in layout, typography, branding, and digital design while continuing to refine my own creative style. I enjoy creating work that not only looks strong visually, but also communicates clearly and has purpose behind it.

As a designer, I’m always looking for ways to grow, explore new ideas, and push myself creatively. I’m drawn to projects that allow me to combine thoughtful design with meaningful storytelling, whether through print, branding, or web experiences. My goal is to create work that feels polished, purposeful, and memorable.

"Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things."
