The Format Design Agency

Graphic design is an industry that is constantly evolving and changing, with new trends and techniques emerging all the time. For Connor Smith, a 21-year-old graphic designer based in Seattle, his focus is on creating designs that are both visually stunning and effective for his clients. As the owner of The Format Design Agency, Connor has grown his business from a full-time desk job to a remote freelance work that actively collaborates with a range of creators such as Dope as Yola, D’Aydrian Harding, LightskinMonte, DatboiAYD, Dizzy Dyl, Nico Grigg & Others.

Connor's journey into graphic design started at a young age when he discovered a passion for creating visuals. Over time, he honed his skills and began experimenting with different techniques and software. As he grew more confident in his abilities, he decided to take the plunge and start his own business. The Format Design Agency was born out of a desire to create high-quality designs that could help businesses and individuals stand out in a crowded marketplace.

One of the key elements of Connor's work is his ability to work with a range of different formats. From logos and branding to social media graphics and animations, Connor has the skills and expertise needed to create designs that are tailored to the needs of his clients. His understanding of different formats and how they can be used effectively has helped him to build a reputation as a versatile and reliable designer.

Of course, like any creative professional, Connor has faced his fair share of challenges along the way. One of his biggest struggles is dealing with creative blocks. As a graphic designer, your environment and mental state need to be in a good place in order to create quality work. When he experiences a creative block, Connor takes time to step away from his work and clear his mind. He may take a walk, listen to music or engage in other activities that help him relax and refocus his energy.

Despite these challenges, Connor remains committed to pushing himself and his work to new heights. He is constantly seeking inspiration from other artists, such as Benny Productions, Phaserunner, and JLEO Visions, who are extremely talented at what they do. For Connor, graphic design is more than just a job; it's a passion that he hopes to continue pursuing for years to come.
