My name is Journee Rodgers and I was born and raised in Mount Vernon, New York. I recently graduated from Howard University with a BFA in Graphic Design. When I am not creating logos for clients, I create art for fun and share it with my followers on Instagram and Twitter.
Art has always been a big part of my life, but I did not decide I wanted to be a graphic designer until I was about 16. I went to a program through my high school for commercial art and I fell in love with it! The more I learned, the more I felt like I could have a career in design.
Being in that class and speaking to my teacher, I was made aware that there are not a lot of Black people in the Graphic Design business, especially Black women.
Sadly, this was not surprising, but it made me want to pursue the career even more and eventually open a space for my business that allows me to hire and work with other Black female Graphic Designers.
