My name is Paula Popowski. I am an Argentinian-born graphic designer and illustrator based in Champaign-Urbana, IL. After graduating with a BA in art history with highest honors from Rutgers University, I held various positions in museums, galleries, and art non-profits throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Marriage, relocation, and a series of life changes later, I reconsidered professional aspirations, and I decided to apply my knowledge of art and commerce towards a degree in graphic design. I am in the process of achieving this goal at Parkland College in Champaign, IL.

As a designer, I depart from the philosophy that effective design empowers all marketing efforts and improves the visual quality of the environment in which we live. In order for design to be effective, however, I collaborate with clients to arrive at solutions that are uniquely tailored to the vision and needs of their company.
