Drawing from a foundation in communication design, visual art,  and community-oriented experiences, Will Howell’s creative practice exists at the intersection of culture, storytelling, and correlational research. After receiving a BFA from Parsons, Will relocated to Miami where he had the pleasure of working with clients across Hospitality, Nightlife, Fashion, Fine Art, Household Appliances, and Sports & Entertainment. His work moves fluidly across medium and experiential spaces—often blurring the line between commercial and personal expression.


Howell approaches design as a living, collaborative process shaped by rhythm, environment, and human interaction. Whether developing identities for emerging brands, curating immersive events, or constructing visual narratives through image-making and installation, Will brings a curiosity towards what is possible with an intention to add value to any project at hand. In the Fall of 2026, Will will be going back to Parsons in pursuit of an MFA in Transdisciplinary design.

Skate Jawn is a skateboarding magazine founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2010 by Marcus Waldron. Skate Jawn produces a bimonthly magazine as well as a yearly photo issue. Skate Jawn releases video content and premieres skate videos via its website. 

I created a series of original illustrations for Skate Jawn, that would go on to be put in production for a t-shirt, distributed online. 
Inspired by “slamming”, a term coined from falling off your board, really hard – the artwork blended raw moments through hand-drawn detail, complementing the magazine’s DIY spirit and visual storytelling. The Handrail was the one selected from the series which added a unique artistic layer to the publication, resonating with its community of skaters and creatives.
