Connecting with Alumni Andrea Carrillo

Humor. ChronicDissatisfaction (the always unfinished project). Borderless.

Theseare some of the main ideas that have defined my design practice throughout theyears.  I believe that as designers,we shouldn’t take ourselves to seriously and we should be able to laugh atourselves, a little.  Although itmay seem negative, my constant dissatisfaction with my work pushes me toimprove as a designer and never settle. I strive for a borderless practice,where I become an anthropologist, a writer, a content creator: attempting toredefine what a graphic designer is.


I am a graduate from Art Center Collegeof Design. Over the last years I have had the opportunity to collaborate withpeople and studios from very different industries. My work has spanned fromcultural to commercial, with projects for film, architecture, education,advertising, and more.

One of the things that I am most grateful for from studying at SDCC is the professors’ unconditional dedication to the program and its students. Their constant support allowed me to create a portfolio that led to a scholarship at Art Center, and brought me to where I am today.
