A Bit About Me
My name is Jasmine Pizano, and I'm the artist and designer behind Pouty Face! I'm currently a 2nd year graduate student studying Graphic Design, Ceramics, and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa. I'm also involved as a volunteer and Certified Peer Educator at the Women's Resource and Action Center on campus. Freelance design and promoting my work via local art markets, small business events, and social media marketing is how I've been growing my brand in preparation for my post-grad career.
​
Through Pouty Face, I've found my niche in the design industry as a specialist in alternative styles of design work and illustration. I take great inspiration from the eclectic approaches associated with contemporary punk ethos, the maximalism of the early 2000s, and patchwork style tattoo aesthetics.
