Hello! My name is Courtney Culp and I am a visual designer. I have a background in Graphic Design and Illustration and enjoy helping create believable worlds for story-driven projects.

Biography

I was born and raised in the heart of northern New Jersey. I graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in May, 2020 where I was a member of the Division I Women's Soccer Team and studied Film, Animation, Graphic Design, and Photography. I am currently in my last semester of graduate school at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) specializing in Themed Entertainment and Production Design. ​ My portfolio reflects my interdisciplinary background, with projects ranging from film, animation, graphic design and illustration. I am most interested in graphic design and look development for Animation/Film and Themed Entertainment. In the past have used my strength in creative problem solving as a design artist for companies including CNN and the NBA. As a former Division I Athlete and lifelong artist, I love collaborating on teams with diverse backgrounds and skill sets.
