Tyson Phips

graphic design / animation / digital drawing

My name is Tyson Phipps, and I’m an optimistic creative who loves excellence, kindness, and problem-solving through design. Middle East born and Midwest bound, I’ve found that the strongest communities thrive with hospitality and empathy at the center. I pursue graphic design in my day job and any form of creativity after hours: writing and creating my own songs, making logos and brands for friends, illustrating books, block printing, and more.
