graphic & web designer
Hey, my name is Dawn Tarabocchia, a graphic designer & front-end web developer living in the greater New York City area. I graduated in 2012 from the University of Connecticut with a BFA in Communication Design. I also studied abroad at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design at the University of the Arts London.
I enjoy working in all forms of design including branding, print, web, & interactive experiences. When I am not pushing pixels, you can find me exploring photography, traveling with friends & family, or swinging around my kettlebell. Oh, and I am also in pursuit of my pilot license.

Scivantage Client Conference 2015
This year’s conference is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company wanted to highlight their 15th Anniversary. I drew on the crystal reference and the lights of Vegas to create the look and feel of the entire conference. I am also creating any other branded material for this event including posters, banners, and presentation materials.
