About

Riley Iakovidis (yak•o•veed•es).

As a kid, I found a talent for drawing. Classmates would ask me if I wanted to be an artist when I grew up and the answer was always yes. Being a Designer keeps the heart young, get the same feeling now as I did then. Someone wise once told me if you do something you enjoyed as a kid, you’ll never work a day in your life.

I was raised in the midwest in the small town of Wixom, Michigan. I Grew up camping and being outdoors, riding motorcycles, target shooting, and spending time with family. Developing a good work ethic early on has translated into a great design career, with opportunities I could have never imagined. Very thankful for loving parents who continuously pushed me and provided a safe place to grow artistically, thank you to all that continue to support my dreams! -Riley I
