Hello!

I’m Abbey Oborn, a graphic designer based in Salt Lake City, UT. I have always loved art and creating new things so a career in graphic design was a perfect fit for me. When I’m not designing, you can find me in the mountains hiking, rock climbing, or hammocking.

I am passionate about creating beautiful and impactful designs that aligns with strategy and elevates the client. I love all areas of design but especially enjoy editorial, typography, and UI design.
