About Talia Bowen
Hey, I’m Talia, a Graphic Designer splitting my time between Toronto, ON and Fort Myers, FL. I’ve completed three years at George Brown College in Graphic Design Program where I specialized in Brand Design. Currently, I’m expanding my expertise by diving into Social Media Marketing through a one-year program.
I’ve had a passion for design since 11th grade when I was in a yearbook class. Eventually, I became an “executive” for the yearbook committee!
In my spare time, I read Thriller or Romance books, care for my pets, and paint. I also spend a lot of my time visiting art galleries and going to concerts and comedy shows. One of my favorite hobbies is traveling! I’ve had the opportunity to travel most of the Caribbean but I hope to travel the whole world one day.
My goal as a designer, is to design to help change the world. I advocate for women’s rights, racial rights, and body positivity.
Let’s connect and create something amazing together!!
