Hi! I’m Lior Edrich,

a Graphic Design major at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication.

I am a designer and illustrator fueled by a passion for creativity and a love for storytelling. I am constantly exploring and seeking inspiration from the world around me. I combine my love for art, music, and culture to create designs that not only tell stories but also spark joy. I want to tell stories, evoke emotions, and bring fresh ideas to life.

If I'm not busy working on a project, you'll probably find me with headphones on, listening to my favorite songs while drawing for fun.
