Élan Hawkins

For the past four years at the Academy of Art University (AAU) in San Francisco, I have studied under professional designers in hopes of one day working for a major corporation to express my love for product design and make a major influence on the world and people around me.

In addition to design, I have a strong background in illustration. With innovative thinking and my colorful expression of Illustration, I want to influence the world.  I have learned to ideate, sketch, prototype, 3D model, and create. As for my illustration skills, I have created pieces in programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and Indesign. I enjoy the challenge of learning new software and technology.
