Hello, my name is Riley Legare
Welcome to my about page!
I'm a graphic designer with over seven years of professional experience, shaped by a wide range of creative environments. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Montana State University, where I developed a strong foundation in visual communication and a deep appreciation for the power of design.
​
What draws me to graphic design is its limitless potential. It’s a discipline that blends creativity, strategy, and storytelling. Whether through illustration, photography, or layout design, I find purpose in crafting thoughtful visual messages that influence how people think, feel, and connect.
​
Originally from Montana, my creativity is often inspired by the outdoors. In the summer months, you’ll find me hiking the trails with my dog or enjoying time on the water, whether paddleboarding, swimming, or floating down the river. These moments fuel my passion for design and remind me of the importance of perspective, balance, and play.
What I am About
Creativity
It’s what allows me to craft personalized, thoughtful design solutions tailored to each client’s needs. Without creativity, design becomes generic; but with it, I’m able to bring unique ideas to life and create work that is both effective and meaningful.
Passion
Art has always been a constant in my life: from tracing flowers in chalk on the sidewalk as a child to sketching logo concepts as a college graduate. This lifelong connection to creativity continues to shape my approach to design today.
Commitment
Commitment means showing up fully for every project, every time. It’s about striving for the best possible design through consistent effort, curiosity, and perseverance. Whether it’s finding inspiration in unexpected places, working late when creativity strikes, or pushing through a creative block, I’m always engaged in the process. My mind is constantly turning over ideas, because great design doesn't always happen between 9 and 5. It happens when you're all in.
