Macklin Clingerman
B.F.A. Graphic Design
I am an illustrator and designer that primarily focuses on print media and emphasizing visual storytelling. Since childhood, I’ve always had an active imagination fueled by the stories told through movies, shows, music, and most importantly, comics. Inspired by comic and graphic novels, I realized that I, too, could create my own visual stories to share with the world. Because of my love for the medium, I have based a large part of my skill development upon the stories I have read and enjoyed for so long.

Illustration serves as the driving art form through which my design practice comes to life. It allows me to incorporate bold imagery, inking aesthetics, exaggerated contrast, and flat color palettes into my work. I find the most creative freedom in this form of visual communication and consider it a natural overflow of my rampant imagination. I want people to enjoy my expressive imagination, sense my energy, and feel my passion for my work.
