Jada Kopecky
Hello, I’m Jada! I’ve always been interested in how a simple shift in typography, or a new color palette, can completely change how a design feels. My time at MPTC has focused a lot on mastering that balance and learning the technical skills of Adobe Creative Suite.
Whether I’m making a layout for a magazine or creating icons and logos for a brand, I love the challenge of switching gears and adapting my style to fit the project’s personality. I’ve loved bringing this versatility to my portfolio projects, and I’m ready to keep exploring what’s possible with design after graduation!
