Hey! I’m Elvin! A passionate graphic designer and content creator! To me, designs are more than something you can admire. There’s always a deeper meaning behind the creation depending on who created it. Despite it being something we see every day, there’s always a meaning behind it!

Based in new york

Graphic Designer (Silkscreening / File Prep)

Currently, at ASI I work on graphics for (Silkscreen/Decals/Trophies/etc.) I help and work alongside our Art Director. I am working nearly 100% alone on the vast amount projects we receive daily with some input from our Art Director or Salesperson/Customer.

Graphic Designer (Social Media / Digital Marketing)

By far one of my biggest learning experiences ever, brought on at first as a Freelancer all the way to Graphic Designer. Growth at CultureFly was immense. Being able to voice our ideas with the team and build out our creations was amazing. This was my first time working with licensed goods (Pusheen, My Hero Academia, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Spongebob Squarepants, and more!) I had to follow styleguides to ensure everything would be good to submit. From creating social/marketing graphics for all the different licenses to helping out with the booth at New York Comic Con!

Production Designer

During my little time as a production designer at My Sticker Face®, I learned the ins and outs of the business and how the stickers were produced. Everything was done in-house, and I would have to cut/create the stickers the customers sent in. Communicated with the customers via email to ensure they got the best product.

Freelancer (Graphic Designer / Video Editor)

Given the opportunity to Freelance at Frederator made me speechless. Whilst still in college, working on either videos or thumbnails for some of their YouTube channels (Channel Frederator / The Leaderboard / Cinematica). Getting feedback from the producers and head designer to further understand and polish the work that I had done.

Co-Founder (CREATIVE DIRECTOR)

Started in a call with my friend Eli back in 2018, and we started rambling on and on about anime. To which we both had the idea as a meme, “Why don’t we start up a podcast” and thus MOE AND TOAST! Podcast was started! Then branching out into apparel, which can be found at moeandtoast.com. Overall, this was a passion project turned “business”.

Content Creator (Streaming / Producing)

Creating has been and always will be a passion of mine, so in late 2020 when I saw the growth of my Twitch channel, I decided to pursue it and grow it as much as I could. On the side, I had to find other outlets to produce content on, such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, creating content for both long-form and short-form videos. Giving back was something I’ve wanted to do while creating content, whether it be commissioning friends for thumbnails, or giving to charity. I’ve supported charities like Stop AAPI Hate, The Trevor Project, and St. Jude Research Hospital. I just believe that giving back is always good for the community.

Graphic Designer (Freelance / Commissions)

Freelancing is nothing new to me, as I have been doing it since 2017 with random jobs here and there. Featuring designs that I’ve also been commissioned to create from either nothing or with some inspiration.
