Jan Amistad PORTFOLIO
Jan Amistad
Intro DESIGNER. ILLUSTRATOR. I have a master of art in graphic design and a bachelor of fine arts in illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. There was a time when illustration and graphic design were inseparable. Like the 20th century masters, I strive to that level of switching effortlessly between art and design. Using the best of both worlds, I look forward to solving design problems and conveying the expression of my purpose as an artist.
