Yuri Coleman is a Chicago-based multi-media designer and artist.
Since I was a child, I’ve been obsessed with drawing, painting, and capturing the world through my camera lens. Today, that lifelong passion fuels my professional work. I specialize in brand identities and illustration, finding my greatest inspiration at the intersection of fine art and design. I often integrate my studio practice directly into my design projects to create something truly unique.
When I’m not at my desk, you can find me at a local coffee shop writing passionate Beli reviews, testing out a new New York Time’s recipe, or curled up with a good book.
