Yola G

Sr. Graphic Designer with a background in fine art 2d painting. From ideation, concept, print production, art direction to seeing projects through to completion. I have 7+ years graphic art experience in professional firms. With extensive spending years at a leading architect and design firm branding concept decks for hospitality. Designing signage and wayfinding and digitally painting for hotel lobby and guestroom walls and textiles, my graphic art experience is varied and covers a wide range of media. 

In 2013 I started my journey as a technical artist and graphic designer for a mosaic fabrication studio. Using given plans and elevations, I drew, sketched, digitally rendered mosaic murals that literally blew my mind. Collaborating with architects, designers, creatives, and artisans who crafted the most marvelous mosaic murals. From there I went on to work with HBA. Employing my natural drawing and painting talents. Facilitating art and artful applications to Hospitality projects is a passion of mine. From Branding, Illustrating to Mural Design. I've managed the Graphics team of HBA's Santa Monica Office for a few years and helped HBAs Creative director build a successful studio, HBA DNA. During Covid I maintain an independent graphic artist business in y0GRAPHICART that utilizes all of my acquired talents and skills ranging from graphic design to fine art and environmental graphic art to Art Direction.
