About Me

William Roth is a seasoned graphic designer with over 15 years of experience. His creative journey has taken him from working as a freelancer and in-house for educational nonprofits to contributing his talents at a reputable agency.

Driven by a mission to make a meaningful impact, William possesses an eagerness to experiment, especially when it comes to cutting-edge technologies like AI. His design career began organically as he built websites and crafted logos, unknowingly paving the way for his future in graphic design. Recognizing his passion, he pursued formal education at the Miami Ad School at Portfolio Center, where he honed his skills and became a design professional.

This diverse range of interests informs his creative process and sets his work apart.

William's design work has garnered recognition in renowned publications such as Fast Company, Under Consideration, and Los Logos. One of his proudest accomplishments is the publication of his book, "A Designer in Europe," where he documented a design challenge to create a unique logo for every city he visited during a four-month trip.

Currently freelancing, William is actively seeking full-time, remote opportunities to apply his skills and expertise.
