What does a ring have to do with design?
Anyone can wear a ring. It can be worn for looks. Many adorn one for its meaning. Some even wear one for a purpose. Similar to any design, why not have one that fulfills all three?
What’s the story with the ring?
My dad, Gary, got this monogram ring as a kid. Like an old watch, he passed it onto me as a teen. Neither of us have ever worn the ring on account of it not fitting our fat, Vernon fingers. It wasn't until I became a designer that I gave it a heightened use to accompany its meaning to two guys whose names start with “G.” So, I was lucky enough to develop an identity with a deeper meaning and a tangible representation.
Who is Gabriel Vernon?
I’m a designer and illustrator originally from Virginia where I spent the first 26 years of my life. My experience ranges from a prominent Washington, D.C. agency to an in-house team with Portland’s TriMet, the nation’s greatest transit agency. I have relocated to Piscataway, New Jersey. From there I will be offering the East Coast (and West) more of the same, only better:
