Bartavious is an Art Director and Designer based in New York City, with over ten years of experience. Originally from the South, I blend southern charm with big-city creativity in my work. I view design as both an art form and a problem-solving process, focusing on creating meaningful visual experiences through typography, imagery, color and storytelling. I enjoy pushing artistic boundaries and helping my clients establish distinctive visual identities. In my free time, I like to explore art galleries, watch indie films, and search for rare vinyls in local shops.
