Hello there!
My name is Dante Quintana and I am a Graphic Designer & Illustrator based in Rochester, New York.
I have a BFA in Graphic Design from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and an AA in Illustration from Monroe Community College (MCC). While attending RIT, I also immersed myself in Queer & Transgender Studies.
When it comes to Graphic Design, I enjoy working with Print Design, Packaging Design, Typography, and Accessible Design. I also have experience with working on UI/UX and Motion Design projects!
Interesting Facts!
In my spare time I enjoy rock climbing and bouldering. I currently only have experience bouldering and top roping in indoor facilities, and I plan to keep it that way.
I was born on the small island of Puerto Rico! I grew up speaking both Spanish and English, but most people aren't aware of this fact as I do not have an accent. Although Spanish was my first language, I picked up English incredibly fast; sometimes I forget there was a time where I couldn't understand English at all.
I enjoy all things fashion related. I prefer to thrift almost all of my clothes, as its a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to "fast fashion." When I'm not buying from a thrift store, I am supporting small businesses and local shops! I consider all garments as unisex, regardless of what section of the store I found it in.
I like to volunteer in my spare time. I actually began volunteering when I was still in High School. My first volunteer position was with the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley. While attending RIT, I did volunteer work with CP Rochester and Artists Unlimited. Nowadays I volunteer at the Rochester Rainbow Union!
Thanks for stopping by :)
