Bio

It's nice to meet you! My name is Corey Ricks, and I'm a second-year graphic design student at Virginia Commonwealth University, with a minor in Marketing Insights. I have about three years of design experience, working with friends, organizations, and people in my community. My style often blends bold colors and nostalgic textures to create emotionally resonant work. Outside of design, I'm passionate about collecting music and movies, traveling, and building community. After I graduate, I aspire to work in the music industry as a creative director or visual designer, where I can develop complete visual worlds for artists and brands. Through my work, I hope to inspire, connect, and create a positive impact. I'm excited to be part of an environment that values creativity and boldness, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me! Portfolio: https://coreybydesign.co/
