About Hayes

I am a San Jose State University graduate with a major in Design Studies. With both parents in the design industry, I was exposed to the visual arts at a young age and was introduced to a range of designers and artists who inspire my work to this day. Through my years of schooling, I have learned many valuable lessons, tools, and skills that have helped shape me into a more confident designer. Adding in a pandemic, I also learned how to work fluidly whether in-person or remotely, and to solve problems creatively. My wide-ranging interests, from graphic design and illustration to product design, have given me a broader perspective on design and allowed me to apply my own style to my work.

Currently, I am working at Society Merch, a dynamic company specializing in custom merchandise and apparel for a variety of clients, including influencers, brands, and businesses. This role allows me to dive into exciting projects, collaborate with talented colleagues, and continuously push the boundaries of my design capabilities. I am excited to keep learning and growing in this ever-evolving field. Working at Society Merch has been an incredible opportunity to expand my knowledge through real-world experience and connect with others who share my passion for design.
