—JAYDEN BADILLO

Hello! I’m Jayden Badillo, a graphic designer and paper connoisseur originally from Illinois, but I currently call North Carolina home.

I specialize in physical media and playful, personal storytelling. My work is driven by a love for hands-on making, and the mixture of design and a sense of self. Whether crafting an immersive brand experience or designing tangible print, I aim to create work that connects and invites people to interact with design in a meaningful way.

My goal as a designer is to make creativity a free space for exploration. I believe design should be approachable, interactive, and, most importantly, personal. Through my work, I hope to create curiosity, inspire shared experiences, and highlight the impact design has on you as a person.

When I’m not designing, I’m still making. Usually, experimenting with new materials or diving into a personal project with music blasting in my ears. And if you catch me on a break, there’s a good chance I’m deep in a ‘Survivor’ binge or testing my luck with a new board game. (I usually end up not being so lucky)


MEMORIES FROM THE ATTIC

A collection of songs, papers, and photographs that unfold like memories—layered, tactile, and deeply personal. The reminders of childhood, the weight of growing up, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of it all. A visual exploration of nostalgia, identity, and understanding through the act of remembering.
