Amber Kopas

Graphic Designer & Illustrator

I grew up being fascinated by art, always drawing and coming up with ideas. Being able to produce art and make it my career was always a dream. I recently graduated with honours from the Graphic Design program at Humber Polytechnic, where I have improved my work strategy and end products to be my best.

Hobbies

Outside of graphic design and illustration, I have a wide range of interests that inspire my creativity. I'm an avid reader of thriller novels, particularly the works of John Grisham, and I enjoy watching thriller and horror films, including titles like Saw. My music taste is diverse, with a strong appreciation for rock genres–especially bands like Alice In Chains and Korn.

I also enjoy hands-on creative activities such as crocheting decorative items, plush toys, and apparel, as well as baking a variety of treats and desserts. In my free time, I like to explore immersive open-world games such as Minecraft and Skyrim. I value time in nature, often hiking and biking with my family. And of course, I love spending time with my cat, Pepper!
