hello

My name is Tyler Hicks

I’m the owner and graphic designer of Tyler Hicks Design and Illustration based in Goose Creek, South Carolina. I focus my strengths in brand identity, website design, and illustration works. I graduated from Charleston Southern University with a BA in Graphic Design and Communication in 2021.

I am a creative that believes in the phrase “Trust the Process and Risk Failure.” These were words given to me by an art teacher my freshman year of high school, and ever since then I have held true to these words.

Outside of being a slight workaholic, I like to enjoy time reading from my growing library, watching movies, and playing with my dog.

Imagination into Reality

The concept of my tagline “Imagination into Reality” stems from how I have been viewing the world for many years. I always thought of crazy concepts and ideas, and looked at the world a little more creatively. So many things were seen as crazy at one point in time, such as the telephone, now look where we are today. I believe imagination has to have a play in anything to get an idea started, it’s whether or not we are willing to work hard enough to bring that into reality. So, I use my creative skills to help other’s bring what is in their imagination, may it be a new business or idea, and help them bring it into reality.
