Hello!
This is Namie Horner! I was born and raised in Hollywood, California. I am an ArtCenter student who started my ArtCenter journey in the First Year Immersion program. As of Fall 2024, I transitioned to the Graphic Design program.
Growing up, I was not only raised by an artist, but I grew up exposed to and pursued all types of media, which makes me a versatile designer.
I am exploring all fields of graphic design. However, I am currently express most interest in pursuing branding, print, Ux/Ui, and/or package design.
