IVAN RASMUSSEN

Graphic Designer

Minor in Digital Media

I started my college experience as a Math major before switching to Graphic Design my sophomore year. I had internships with Hy-Capacity and Iowa International Center doing photo editing and marketing. After graduating from Iowa State in 2022, I began my design career at FUN where I designed Halloween costumes and small amounts of merchandise. I then worked remotely as an email designer for FUN. I got to create unique emails for Halloween.com and Halloweencostumes.com. I also got to work on a large catalog for costumes, which was a lot of fun. I am always looking to enhance and grow my design skils!
