HEY THERE!
I’M CORTNEY BARLOW- A GRAPHIC DESIGNER BASED IN KANSAS CITY, MO
I studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and Arizona State University, where I built a strong foundation in design principles and creative thinking. Although I didn’t finish my degree (thank you, soaring tuition costs), I carried everything I learned straight into the real world — and I've been running with it ever since.
Since 2016, I’ve been freelancing, partnering with a wide variety of clients across different industries. Each project is a new puzzle to solve, and I love using design to help brands tell their stories in smart, beautiful ways.
I’m constantly sharpening my skills and staying on top of the latest design trends by attending workshops, diving into design books, and following some of the best creatives in the industry across social media. (Consider me a lifelong student — minus the student loans.)
When I’m not sketching new ideas or nerding out over typography, you’ll probably find me exploring new coffee shops or rearranging my workspace for the 47th time.
Let’s create something awesome together!
