Justin Laken is a Creative Designer bringing a little spark to everyday ideas.

My style reflects a balance of bold design and thoughtful storytelling, drawing inspiration from my experiences as a designer. I create impactful, innovative designs that resonate with audiences, combining artistic inspiration with modern trends. Whether through branding or high-profile campaigns, my work is driven by a forward-thinking, creative approach to design and technology. Outside of art, I love playing video games with friends, shopping for sneakers, and following Chicago Bulls basketball. Family and friends are at the heart of my values, blending a mix of design, community, and modern interests into everything I do.
