Bio

Hey there! My name is Garance Lynch, I am a student at New York City College of Technology and I major in Communications Design. Ever since I was a little kid, I have always been interested in art in general. At school art class was always my favorite class. I was always very imaginative and drew anything that came to mind, art made me feel free. The art I’m particularly interested in now is digital art and street art. I have a passion for drawing and illustrating. I’m a burger guy, I really love cheeseburgers. I love to hang out with friends with no family, play video games, watch movies, anime, and listen to music. I consider myself to be an outgoing person. I think it’s great to meet new people and make new friends. My personal philosophy is to “Do you”, do what makes you happy, do what you love and to never let anyone tell you otherwise. This personal philosophy that I follow basically encourages open-mindedness. I feel it’s important to do what makes you feel happy, comfortable, and free. I hope to one day become a Graphic Designer or Marketing Designer. Before I can even think of my career, I am focused on getting great grades in college and eventually graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree.
