I’m Colleen Dies, an Akron-based graphic designer and illustrator creating thoughtful visual systems with clarity, personality, and purpose. My work spans brand identity, packaging, print and digital applications, and observational illustration, with a particular interest in the details that make a project feel distinctive and human.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design, magna cum laude, from the University of Akron. I bring curiosity, careful craftsmanship, and a collaborative spirit to every project—from developing a complete identity system to documenting the overlooked natural forms found close to home.
I’m currently open to full-time design opportunities and select freelance collaborations.
