My name is Jacob Romero. I’m an artist and designer living in Chicago, Illinois. I am currently studying Industrial Design at the University of Illinois Chicago.
Recently, I had the opportunity to be a Graphic Design Intern at NFW, a bio-material start-up based in Peoria, Illinois.
My practice is inspired by the metaphysical and jersey club remixes.
I am passionate about experimentation and implementing it into my work.
I’m open to freelance work, email me at hello@jacob-romero.com
