About me
Design with a builder's mindset.
I am Cole Hartness, a graphic designer about to graduate with a portfolio that spans identity design, automotive graphics, printed publications, trophies, apparel, and personal photography.
My work often connects concept and production: sketching, refining, presenting, and preparing final files that can be made, printed, wrapped, or worn.
