Payton White (she/her) is a designer for Xpress Magazine. Originally from Long Beach, she’s now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in visual communications at SF State and hopes to one day work in branding or print design. Having  loved art since childhood, Payton was always sketching, exploring color and finding new ways to express ideas through visuals. This early curiosity grew into a lasting love for design and creativity. Her design philosophy is to bring that same energy into every project by creating visuals that are fun, meaningful and emotionally engaging.
