Hi, my name is Sydney Friest. I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Iowa State University with a secondary major in Environmental Studies. Additionally, I have a background in photography and calligraphy. I enjoy various design work, including branding, package design, typography, and print design. My passion as a designer is to use these skills to educate and spread awareness of the natural environment, sustainability, and agriculture.
I grew up on a small family hog and grain operation in central Iowa and had the opportunity to intern at the National Pork Board in 2023, where I designed digital and print marketing materials, directed and edited video content, and collaborated with the marketing team on social media campaigns. In 2022, I opened my own creative business, Friest Designs, where I create stationery, stickers, and gifts using my unique brush lettering styles and bright illustrations. When I’m not designing, I enjoy traveling, hiking, photography, skiing, and playing board and card games.
