I’m Gabe Solak Franco, an artist and graphic designer based in Fort Worth, Texas. I blend my Brazilian and American roots into a bold, expressive visual language, and I’m currently pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design at TCU. For me, design is a way to communicate emotion, culture, and connection—shaped by faith, curiosity, and a lifelong desire to create.

Traveling is one of my biggest passions. Experiencing the beauty of the world and the richness of different cultures fuels my creativity and helps me see design through a broader, more meaningful lens. My faith grounds everything I do; I view every opportunity to create as part of something deeper and greater than myself. My goal is always to leave a lasting impression that points to purpose and significance.

Relationships are the core of my process. I believe design starts with understanding people—their experiences, their stories, and what matters most to them. Before I begin any project, I listen. I want each piece I create to feel personal, intentional, and unique to the story it’s telling.

I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember.
As a kid, I was always drawing, imagining worlds, telling stories, and even sculpting with the most unexpected materials. Looking back, all of those early moments pointed toward a deeper narrative—one that continues to shape how I see the world and how I bring that vision into my work today.
