As seen in the ‘failing New York Times,’ Yazmin Butcher is a graphic designer and illustrator living in Toronto. She graduated middle of her class from Ryerson University's Fashion Communications program and still managed to find gainful employment.
When she's not staring into her computer for work, you can find her staring into her computer for pleasure. Sometimes, just for kicks, Yazmin writes about herself in the third person.
Because she owes people money, she also freelances on the side.
