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 also grew up exposed to and pursued all types of media, which makes me a versatile designer.

Now being in the graphic design program, I am exploring a wide range of graphic design disciplines to build the skills needed to tackle any project, and I express the most interest in branding, print, packaging, and motion.
