About Me
Hello! My name is Payton Ridge. I am a Graphic Designer living in Muncie, IN. I recently graduated from Ball State University with a BFA in Graphic Design. I like branding identity creation and web design. I am open to exploring all fields of design because I don't like to limit myself! I love to learn anything and everything I can in order to make myself a more well-rounded designer.
A little bit about me, I am a military child that has lived in many cities around the US - most recent city being Tampa, FL. Being an army child has molded me as a person that is able to adapt to any situation thrown at me - I can thank attending 16 different schools for that. Outside of design, you can find me watching Twitch or binge watching Netflix. I also love playing video games in my free time and snuggling my cat, Finley!
