Why have you chosen MICA to further your graphic design education?

I grew up on Martha’s Vineyard, but moved more recently from Portland, Maine. I love it there. I have five schools on my official transcript. I graduated from Bennington College with a BA, where I studied global systems of oppression and mixed media fine art. I also studied at Maine College of Art, where I received a BFA in Graphic Design. I am interested in information design, design for social change, and extraordinarily well-crafted handmade objects. I am particularly fond of Futura because of its geometric simplicity, and also for the era it draws from. I don’t identify with a particular designer, but I hope to someday soon. Stay tuned. I was drawn back to MICA (I studied here for my first three semesters of undergraduate) because of the intellectual rigor of the artist community. Throughout the past 11 years I have gone down many different paths. and have found that the time I was the most focused was while here. I am excited by the structure and leadership in the program, as well as the breadth of possibilities the program offers.
