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 music. I am passionate about experimental design and implementing it into my practice.

I believe design is just another way of communicating, 
    it’s really not that serious.

It came to me in a dream, 
     but that doesn’t really mean anything, now does it?
