Artist Biography
Caitlyn Romero is a passionate sports graphic designer based in Fairfield, Connecticut. Her love for art began at a very young age, as she was always fond of drawing and painting. Caitlyn also played multiple sports growing up and learned to balance both her love of sports and art. While they were separate for most of her life, Caitlyn had the incredible opportunity to intern with the Hudson Valley Renegades, the minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees, in the summer of 2024. This fused both her love of sport and graphic design; she loved every second she spent at the ballpark that summer. She was eventually able to extend her internship and complete her senior internship with the Renegades as well, soaking in all the knowledge she could. Her goal as a designer is to breathe life into the world of sports in beautiful and impact ways and one day soon return to the sports industry as a full-time graphic designer.
