Blaine Wright

Graphic Designer & Visual Communications Specialist

I’m a graphic designer and visual communicator based in Champaign, Illinois, with over 17 years of experience creating digital, print, and video content for organizations and institutions. My work focuses on translating ideas into clear, engaging materials, from reports and presentations to websites, campaigns, and video content.

I began my career in photography and videography, and that foundation continues to shape how I approach design today. I bring a practical, detail-oriented approach to projects, with experience working across higher education, nonprofit, and client-based environments.
