About Me!
Hey there!👋 My name is Liz Ridley, a 2025 graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design. I currently work as an Associate Graphic Designer for the lovely folks at Crate and Barrel | Hudson Grace in Sausalito, CA. I have 3+ years of previous design experience where I held positions as a Design Intern at Plaid Again Creative Co., Graphic Designer for Cal Poly’s Associated Students Incorporated, and Senior Graphic Designer for Cal Poly's Mustang News.
My digital design journey began in 2021—as an oil painter turned Adobe fanatic in just 4 quick years of failing and try, try, trying again. This fine art foundation still shapes my ability to adapt styles based on each project’s needs.
I was born and raised in the city of San Francisco and am currently located back in my hometown (this time as a grown-up artist). When I am not staring at an artboard, you can find me playing beach volleyball, watching a documentary, organizing something, or chasing my doodle, Lola around:)
