ABOUT ISAIAH HWANG

Looking for a designer should feel like getting a recommendation from a trusted friend. I'd love to be that creative partner who helps turn your vision into reality.

Hi, I’m Isaiah.

I’m Design Principal and Chief Creative Muscle for Isaiah Hwang Design, a one-man independent design studio based in Orange County, CA. I work with education, high tech, non-profit, and independent clients across the world to tell their visual stories through design and strategy.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved art, especially drawing. In the third grade, I even had a few of my drawings shown at a local museum in Santa Clara, CA and it gave me the motivation to pursue art as a career! Years later, I earned a BA in Graphic Design from San Jose State University (Go Spartans!) to fulfill that passion I had as a child.

Originally from the Bay Area, I enjoy cheering on my hometown sports teams, especially the Warriors and 49ers. If you love old school basketball, let’s be friends!

In my free time, I love serving at my church, hiking, traveling, and enjoying the outdoors with my wife and our dog, Lucky.

    Upon determining the best solutions, I render the strongest designs and present the polished proof to the client.
