About
Simon
Parkhomenko
Graphic & Motion Designer based in Melrose Park, IL. 5+ years in brand identity, apparel graphics and video content.
Summary
Clean systems, brought to life with motion.
I build clean visual systems in Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, then bring them to life with motion. I like to go beyond the brief: from planning a product launch to redesigning a whole storefront.
Right now I design apparel drops and launch campaigns for WE BUY GOLD BRAND, create identities for wedding film and photo studios, and tutor design students at Triton College, where I am finishing my degree in Graphic Design & Visual Communication.
