César Limón
cl16@txstate.edu
Graphic Designer

César has a thirst for knowledge and an appetite for design. He’s quenching the first by pursuing his MFA in communication design from Texas State (he holds a BFA in the field). He’s satisfying the latter by continuing his 26-year career in graphic design. He creates posters, brochures and other publications as well as illustrations for Texas State, where he has worked for nine years. César’s hunger for creative outlets doesn’t end at 5 o’clock. When he’s not designing, he’s refinishing furniture, “throwing pots,” and of course, cooking.
