Hello, My name is Zane Tobin!
I grew up in NE Portland, OR. I am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon College of Design, majoring with a BS in Art & Technology. My favorite video game is Elden Ring, and my current favorite artist is The Alchemist!
I am a designer, photographer, videographer, and overall digital creative.
My work focuses on typography, layout, and blending swiss design principles with elements of collage, illustration, and DIY.
I am fast, hungry, and passionate, with a mission to prove that in the design world.
A little more about me
Growing up skateboarding and being immersed in skate culture, I immediately fell in love with the visual identity that was attached to skateboarding. From Hip-Hop and Thrash Metal in the background of skate videos, to gruesome graphics and wholesome ones alike displayed on skateboards and T-shirts. Alongside my love for anime, cartoons, and fashion; this is where my passion for design is rooted in, and where I take inspiration for my personal work. With this, I always felt like designs within this expressive and rebellious space could benefit from certain design principles, and I feel like design outside this space could benefit from more freedom and expression. This is where I come in and find the medium between these two opposites on the spectrum. I hope with my design I can make the world a little less boring and a little more appealing.
