Arts
Laura Pol is a Cuban graphic designer based in LA. As a young kid, she used to draw the doors for her grandpa who was an architect, and the satisfaction of creating and bringing design to life was instilled at an early age. Introduced to Graphic Design in 2011, she was working at a print shop doing colour separation with her friend Omar, he was doing homework on a branding project, and she saw what he was doing it was love at first sight. She was so intrigued by the project, she wanted to help him design the identity and logo. The very next day she signed up to study graphic design, prior to this she studied pre-med, organic chemistry was not feeding her hunger for creativity. Today she works for Apple as the head of the Design Department at TBWAMedia Arts Lab. We talk about how TBWAMedia Arts Lab found her, working in a high end agency, how she started her freelance studio Olio, font creation, and working on a design project for Mike Tyson and much more.
