Charis Kern

DESIGNER BIO

Charis Kern has had a love for graphic design from as far back as grade 6, drawing and writing her own magazine series. High school properly introduced her to graphic design though, where she realized how she could take her passion for digital art, and transfer those skills into a different medium. She’s excited to work with a graphic design agency and create projects for real clients.

Besides graphic design, Charis loves reading, writing, taking her dog on long trail walks, and character art. She strives to be creative in all aspects of her day, and she couldn’t imagine a life without it.
