Hi, I'm Tripp! I am a graphic designer, cartoonist, illustrator, and animator with a love for storytelling that is weird, colorful, and from the heart. I am a generalist who has the most fun when experimenting with new things rather than sticking to my comfort zones. Although I work in a wide variety of visual media, my work tends to be vibrant, emotive, and experimental.

I am currently seeking freelance or contract work in graphic design, illustration, comics, motion design, storyboarding, or any other part of my extended skillset. If you like my work and are interested in working together on a project, reach out at trippgustin@gmail.com or on one of the above platforms and let's talk! Rates will vary depending on the specifics and scope of the project, and my resume is available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Beyond my work, I love experimental storytelling, video games, vibrant fashion, time travel stories, hiking, poke, photography, TV miniseries, fitness, independent art, live performances, and late night karaoke. I began drawing my own comics at 9, which fostered a love of visual storytelling and creator-owned work from an early age. I earned a BA in Advertising and Graphic Design from the University of Alabama in 2012, worked as a designer for 10 years, then earned a BFA in Animation from Augusta University in 2023. My biggest personal passion project is Trueniverse Comics, a collection of interconnected webcomics that experiment with multimedia storytelling and genre. I live in Georgia with my husband and my cat Arya. It's nice to meet you!
