About Me

My name is Drew Metcalf, a Graphic Designer currently living in Ames, Iowa. I have studied Graphic Communications at Hawkeye Community College and returned to Iowa State University to receive a Bachelor of Design degree. My philosophy as a graphic designer is to keep designs minimal and clean in order to communicate a stronger message. I am very detail oriented, because without clutter and busy elements there's nowhere to hide any mistakes. One of the most important details as a graphic designer I always consider is spacing, this includes my typography, page layout and an appropriate amount of negative space.
