Juan Aranda is a graphic designer and art director focusing on identity design, editorial design, and campaigns. He is interested in culture and approaches design from a narrative perspective. His practice is research-based, thoughtful, and asks questions. Graduating in 2019 with a B.DES from Carnegie Mellon University School of Design, Juan has since worked around the country (Studio Elana Schlenker, Manual SF, Order Design, Human Agency). The work presented in his portfolio is an amalgam of his experiences, evolving. He was once told that he has a good eye for color, encouraging him to further explore this in his work. 

Currently residing in Los Angeles, California ✺
