Lizzie Butler is a Graphic Designer and Visual Artist devoted to making minimal designs that evoke an emotional connection with her client and audience. While solving design problems, she focuses on building communication and functionality in her work. She is passionate about typography, branding, packaging, and UI/UX design. In addition to design, Lizzie has worked with beauty brands such as Elemis, Dr. Dennis Gross, and Gisou as a product photographer and content creator. This unique experience allowed her to enhance her composition skills and color theory knowledge. It also served as a creative outlet where she found much inspiration for her designs. Originally from Thomasville GA, Lizzie is currently based out of Atlanta where she has just graduated with a BFA with a concentration in Graphic Communications at Kennesaw State University. She plans on pursuing UI/UX Design post-graduation.
IF THERE WERE NO BARRIERS AND CONSTRAINTS, WHAT PROJECT WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK ON?
I would love to design for a new major beauty brand. I am a product photographer, designer, and beauty lover, and I would love to combine my love for all three into a new innovative beauty brand.
WHAT ARE YOU READING/LISTENING TO/WATCHING?
I listen to a lot of podcasts while I work. My favorite is What We Said by Chelsey Curtis and Jaci Smith. I am currently reading Dune for the first time after loving the 2021 film. Lastly, I just started watching the series Yellowstone.
WHO IS SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO IN YOUR FIELD?
I look up to Julia Fernandez (2021 GDUSA Student To Watch). She is a new designer who is documenting her journey from student to professional designer in a vulnerable and informative way in her YouTube web series #DesignDiaries. Julia inspires me to push my concepts and be vulnerable as a designer.
