Behind the Scenes
with Larkin Howe
Since she was a child, Larkin has been an enthusiastic learner with a focus on art & design.
She grew up in San Antonio, TX with a mathematician father and artist mother, where she attended magnet programs focused on design, tech, film, math, art, and science. The math-fanatic-turned-artist is now based in Austin, TX and has 12+ years’ experience working with Adobe Suite plus 9+ years in the professional design field.
About the Designer
“Growing up in San Antonio, I attended two magnet programs that shaped my life and interests.
In middle school I attended a magnet school focused on applied technology where I designed robots, built rockets, and developed a passion for math, science, and tech.
I went on to another magnet program in high school where I learned coding, developed skills in the Adobe Creative Suite, and spent my elective time in art and photography courses.
I knew I was destined to get my degree from UT Austin but began my college career as a math major at Texas Woman’s University with a focus on actuarial science.
I transferred to UT Austin halfway through, changed my degree to advertising – a lifelong interest of mine – and the rest is history.”
“Good design evokes a feeling. I’m now in the business of excitement, joy, concern, comfort. I’m in the business of making people feel things.”
— Larkin Howe
On Design
“I used to say that ‘I am where the left side and right side of the brain come together’ but now I feel like design is so much more to me than strategical advertising.
Good design evokes a feeling. I’m now in the business of excitement, joy, concern, comfort - I’m in the business of making people feel things.
It shows in my work and in the relationships I build with clients and peers. I love to have fun, gain new experiences, and create lasting relationships with everyone I work with.”
