Playful and punk meet professional polish.
Heya! I’m Tripp Gustin — a trip(p)le threat in multimedia design, illustration, and comics. I am a versatile one-stop creative studio helping value-driven businesses and publications tell their stories and connect with audiences on a human level. At the moment I'm seeking new long-term freelance clients and creative collaborators who are looking for an artistic mind to bring their concepts to life.
I believe that art is an expression of the spark in our souls. I believe that we’re all craving real human connection – not artificial substitutes or endless scrolling. I believe in the power of telling stories with depth and emotion, solving problems with curiosity and ingenuity, and dreaming up creative solutions the world has never seen before.
When I’m not drawing or designing, you can usually find me rocking out at karaoke, playing indie games, rolling D20s, running the Atlanta Beltline, or exploring the weirdest local art scenes I can find. Great to meet you!

Testimonials
“Working with Tripp was fantastic! Our startup commissioned some graphical corporate headshots from him, and he was very careful to balance our personal preferences with realism, the professional image we wished to portray, and our company's branding. The results are beautiful and everyone is thrilled with them. We highly recommend Tripp's work and won't hesitate to hire him again in the future.”
Elisha W., RIA Pitchworks
“Tripp was a tremendous asset to our project (a mobile mental health app). He helped us think through design choices, created a variety of options, and refined where we needed it. Best of all he was friendly, quick to respond, and worked with us to fit in our budget! His designs and color palette choices reinforced the calm, focused nature of our app. Much better than anything we or AI could've come up with!”
Matt K., Rocket Café
“Tripp quickly created an excellent book cover design with the simple idea I provided. They communicated regularly and kept their deadlines with ease, making my publication process that much easier. Their illustrations and designs fit my book so splendidly that I'm excited to see what they'll do with my next cover.”
Lynn F., "You Are What You Eat"
“I have been working with Tripp for almost a decade and they are fantastic. Flexible, reliable, receptive, Tripp really cares about each project, delivers on time and will make sure you are a part of the creative process from start to finish. 100/10 recommend Tripp for your next commission.”
