Hi, my name is Carlos Gracia. I grew up in Lorain, Ohio…a pretty small town about 30 minutes west of Cleveland.
At a young age, I used to watch my aunt paint along with Bob Ross and I like to think that’s where my love of art began. As I got older, art was always part of my life. Either in school or learning to draw at home. Once I started high school, art classes were the only classes I cared about and junior and senior year, I was able to take a vocational design class where I learned design, print, photography, screen printing, and a lot more.
High school design classes led me to pursue a degree in Graphic Design at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Once I graduated, I was lucky to land a job as an in-house designer in Cleveland. After some years in Cleveland, I moved to Philadelphia and was lucky enough to continue my design career at multiple agencies, from gaming and hospitality to pharmaceuticals.
My love for art and design has also lead me to pursue photography as a hobby, and a deep interest in streetwear and sneakers.
