Hello! My name is Chelsea Cochran. I went to school at Angelo State University and graduated with my BFA in graphic design in 2011. I am a wife, and mother of two,  enjoy watching trashy reality tv, huge Disney fan (CP 2009), and just recently discovered I like camping.

 

I have been working in this industry for over a decade. I love designing and am starting my journey as a full-time freelance artist. I love a challenge and try to incorporate good design into everything I produce. I am trained in typography, illustration, and color theory and have worked with all types of clients and vendors. Check out my Esty store for prints and merch.
