Hello, I'm Luke Campbell - an independent art director, illustrator, and graphic designer based in CA.
​
I've been a storyteller all my life. As a child I began drawing because of a manga artist named Akira Toriyama. His art inspired me to draw and his stories taught me about strong work ethic, perseverance, self-improvement, and the importance of friends and family.
​
I'm Franco-American and bilingual. I was born in Redwood City, CA, but I was raised in France when my family moved to a Parisian suburb before I turned one. Finally, when I was nine we moved back to San Jose, CA.

I attended UCLA and received my bachelor's degree in Design / Media Arts from the School of Arts and Architecture. During that time I also co-founded and presided over UCLA's first all-male a cappella group, Bruin Harmony.

My passions have always revolved around some form of creative expression or storytelling, whether it be art & design, animation, film, dancing, singing, beatboxing, or acting.
​
I'm a people person. I find solace in humor and making people laugh. I don't mind being unconventional. I appreciate honest conversation and always aim to appreciate the small things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard many good things about couch surfing and I thought it was about time I gave it a go! I know I'll meet people who can offer me something special, and I'm certain I can contribute some gold as well with a part of my own life experience :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I attended UCLA in Los Angeles I co-founded an a cappella group called Bruin Harmony my second year in 2007. I then became president and we performed all over the campus at concerts, competitions, benefits, and sporting events. It was the first all-male a cappella group in UCLA history and they are still doing extremely well and very popular to this day!
