Hi, I'm Tina Claussen, a graphic designer and illustrator based in Springfield, MO. In addition to a comprehensive education in graphic design and illustration at Missouri State University, I have 25+ years of experience as a college music professor, composer and professional musician.
I believe the things I learned in my previous career as a musician and educator like continual learning, self-motivation, critical thinking and an ability to direct large and complex projects have informed and continue to inform my design process. In addition, many of the things I love about being a musician and educator, like problem solving, managing complex projects and critical thinking to name a few are also the things I love best about art and design.
My approach to design and illustration is colorful, fun, eclectic and whimsical, and I love to dive into a wide variety of projects. Please feel free to reach out with any potential projects, questions, or just to connect-I'd love to hear from you!
