I'm Eric Rossicone
Hi there! I’m Eric, a San Diego-based graphic designer.
Since childhood, art has fueled my passion. That passion grew into a fiery path after a high school screenprinting class inspired me to pursue a career out of it. After studying graphic design, I graduated from Chico State in 2012 eager to dive into the real world.
My background in marketing allows me to understand projects from a holistic perspective, guiding them from initial concept through completion. I believe in design that is both strategically effective in conveying a message and visually compelling, leaving an impression on the audience. My expertise lies in editorial design, where I craft layouts that are information-dense yet visually engaging, bringing publications and content to life.
Beyond design, you’ll find me exploring the trails with my canine companions, cheering on the Padres, and indulging in all of the delicious Mexican food San Diego has to offer.
