Jade Paris

Graphic Design

Hi, I’m Jade and I’m the Graphic Designer at OpenCandy.

When I was young, my dad owned a painting business in my hometown of San Diego. He and I are both very artistic and when he had extra supplies from a job we would use them to paint, build, or piece together art.

I started freelancing and entering into art competitions five or six years ago. As I matured as a designer, I decided to make a career out of my passion. In December of 2008 I earned my Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of California-San Diego.

Before working with this passionate team at OpenCandy, I was a t-shirt and catalogue designer at a screen-printing shop. Some of the clothing lines I designed for were: Atticus, Jedidiah, Common Threads and Atonement. I love art and I live my life to express it through different mediums.
