Hi! My name is Patrick, and I’m a 21-year-old designer from Cleveland, Ohio. I’m currently finishing my senior year at Syracuse University and tweaking an endless number of After Effects speed graphs. I fell in love with design because it’s a process rooted in empathy, and when I design anything, I feel that I get closer to understanding the people I’m designing for.
I originally came to college to pursue a career in the music industry, but after reluctantly taking an intro-level graphic design course, I changed my major and started nerding out about typefaces. Recently I’ve been spending my free time bringing designs to life through motion. I’m currently accepting freelance projects, so if you are looking for a designer and enjoy my work, I would love to hear what you’re working on!
If you are interested in my work, have some questions, or just want to chat about design, please reach out to pjfirrel@syr.edu. If you want to see things as I'm making them, you can follow me on Twitter at @patrick_firrell (it will always be Twitter to me).
