About Me!
Hello, my name is Dimitri Tasakos and I am a Washington State born designer and illustrator. I am very hard-working and detail-oriented with an illustrative edge and a unique design perspective. I am influenced by character design and narrative storytelling and am often inspired by visual artists working in many mediums. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with departmental honors. I'm a huge fan of cartoons, music, and video games and love to see how they influence my own art.
