Austin Guhl
B.F.A. Graphic Design
Florida Southern, 2017

Since graduating with my B.F.A. in 2017, my journey has taken me from the hills of West Virginia, where I learned the ropes of the trophy industry, to Springfield, Missouri, where I now lead the design team at Collegiate Awards.

You'll often find me experimenting with 3D modeling, capturing moments through a camera lens, or getting back to basics with a sketchbook. My life is a balance of high-end design and the beautiful chaos of home life with my wife, daughter, and our many four-legged companions.
