Preston Yang Artist Statement

I’m Preston Yang and I’m a graphic designer and artist who aims to showcase culture and my own creativity through my work of designs. As an artist and designer, I value creativity, collaboration, and craft. There is always something to takeaway from when completing or critiquing work. Learning from other artists and seeing their work inspires me to work harder and implement new ways to express myself through my own work. I also seek to showcase culture, whether it be my own or others, in my designs as I believe that perspectives and diversity is what shapes our world and the media we consume. My design specialties are in graphic design, infographics, logos, drawings, and illustrations.

I’m a Design in Media graduate from the University of St. Thomas with a BA in Digital Media Arts. I’m also proficient in Adobe products and Canva.

For my previous experiences, I’ve worked as a designer and the Design Lead for TommieMedia/The Crest for 2 years. I’ve created various graphics and designs for the organization. I’ve also heavily aided in the rebranding of TommieMedia to The Crest. Other various works include logo designs for a Hmong student organization in St. Cloud University and a podcast for a St. Thomas professor. I’m also an artist who draws and illustrates during my freetime.
