Gavriel Yitzchakov is a New York–based graphic designer recognized for his ability to merge creativity, storytelling, and strategy into visual identities that leave a lasting impact. With a career shaped by education, experience, and an unshakable passion for design, he has become a multidisciplinary creative whose work spans branding, digital design, packaging, and motion graphics.

Born and raised in the cultural heart of New York City, Gavriel grew up surrounded by artistic expression—from architecture and street art to music and performance. These early influences ignited his curiosity for how visuals shape perception and connect people. By high school, he was already sketching logos, posters, and album covers, developing the foundation for a career that would soon flourish.

To refine his natural talent, Gavriel pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design & Visual Communication at the School of Visual Arts (SVA), New York City. His studies emphasized typography, color theory, branding systems, and motion design. For his thesis project, Urban Coffee Culture: Redesigning Local Brand Identities, he explored how design could tell authentic stories about culture and community—an approach that would become central to his later work.

Determined to adapt to the rapidly changing digital era, Gavriel furthered his education at Parsons School of Design – The New School, where he earned a Certificate in Digital Product Design (UX/UI). There, he learned design thinking, prototyping, and user-centered design, enabling him to extend his storytelling approach into the digital space. This balance of classical design education and modern digital expertise became a hallmark of his practice.

Professionally, Gavriel has collaborated with startups, nonprofits, fashion labels, and tech companies. His projects include brand identity systems, websites, mobile app interfaces, packaging design, and animated content for digital campaigns. A standout achievement was his collaboration with a Brooklyn-based fashion brand, where he created a complete identity system that successfully merged the raw edge of streetwear with the elegance of high fashion—a project later highlighted in design magazines. Across every project, his guiding principle remains the same: design must communicate, inspire, and connect.

Gavriel’s influence extends beyond client work. As an educator and mentor, he uses his YouTube channel to share tutorials, design process breakdowns, and practical advice for students and freelancers. His Instagram gives followers an intimate look at his creative process, from sketches to finished projects, while his presence on X (Twitter) provides thoughtful commentary on design trends, industry shifts, and creative inspiration. His professional journey and achievements are also highlighted on his LinkedIn profile
, where peers and collaborators can connect with him.

At the core of his philosophy are three principles:

Purpose – Every design choice must serve a clear function.

Timelessness – Great design should remain relevant long after trends fade.

Human Connection – Visuals must evoke emotion and tell a story that resonates.

These principles guide not only his professional work but also his mentoring and community contributions. Gavriel is deeply committed to making design accessible, encouraging others to see creativity as both a skill and a mindset.

As his career continues to evolve, Gavriel Yitzchakov remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design while staying grounded in storytelling, authenticity, and meaning. His journey reflects the essence of what it means to be a designer in the modern world: someone who shapes not just visuals, but experiences that connect people and leave a lasting mark.
