THE SPARK OF ONE DESIGNER’S IDEA TRIGGERS A MULTITUDE OF OTHERS; THEY BOUNCE, COLLIDE, AND COALESCE. KINETIC SHOWCASES THE WORK OF TWENTY-ONE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE COLLECTIVE FORCE TRANSFORMS ITS ENERGY INTO DESIGN.
I’m Steven Baptiste and I’m a designer. I believe strong concepts and beautiful typography are the backbone of successful design. Though my work begins with sketching by hand, I embrace digital media and try to create a synthesis of digital and analog whenever possible.
Brittany / KristinHi there, I’m Kristin Liu! Design is all around us, and I'm excited to be a part of it. My interests lie in creating visual experiences through typography, textures or patterns. When I'm not designing, I love to knit, craft, and create!
Steven / YanineHello, my name is Yanine and I love graphic design. It's always been a part of me. I even dream about designing projects! I love colorful patterns, textures and typography. I also enjoy taking pictures of my adorable puppy.
Kristin / TaniaHi! My name is Tania. I am passionate about design and typography. I believe that design is about more than just creating something visually pleasing, it should be conceptually driven as well.
Yanine / KatyaHello, I am Katya (some know me as Yekaterina, but I like to keep things simple). When it comes to design, I believe every little detail counts. I enjoy drawing and I apply my artistic skills to all of my work.
Tania / CrystalDesign and doodling go hand-in-hand for me. I visually express myself through organic, illustrative forms and contemporary design processes. I am also known by the name of Moonpie, because my face is round.
Katya / NadáDesign is an engaging and never-ending learning process. I am fascinated by the power of design to create systems, expand knowledge, and connect cultures.
P.S. My name means generosity in Arabic.
Crystal / EmilyHello, my name is Emily Goad. I am graphic designer, idea generator, concept developer, problem solver and team player. While I love to explore and create independently I truly thrive on the energy of a fast-paced, collaborative environment. I've had the luxury of learning and working with twenty very diverse individuals for the past two years; I aim to find a professional environment that will continue to challenge and push me in new and unexpected directions.4
Nadá / SharonGreetings earthling! My name is Sharon Chhin. Obsessed with all things tactile and typographic, I am a lifelong student of design, always curious, and forever searching for effective solutions and concepts.
Emily / NitaHi! I'm Nita. Nita with an exclamation point! The conceptual phase of the design process excites me the most as I enjoy digging in and gaining an understanding of my audience. Targeting the use of design elements including typography and color really get me going … as do cookies. The world is just sweeter with those!
Sharon / CJMy name is CJ Soukup and I like to design with a sharp tongue and have a keen eye for wittiness, simplicity and charm. I believe that beauty lies within the details, so those “little” nuances are my bread and butter. If I am not searching for new typefaces to use, I’m probably cooking, or singing, or both.
Nita / BrandonHi, I’m Brandon Robinson. I’m a multi-skilled designer who enjoys using my cognitive abilities to solve problems and design aesthetically pleasing work that serves a purpose. I have a strong interest in how individuals interact with design, as the experience that one has with a designed object leaves a lasting impression and communicates a message.
CJ / CirceHi there! My name is Circe, and my aim is to bring creative solutions to design challenges. I try to work meticulously and extensively to present well-thought-out concepts that demonstrate the message clearly. I also enjoy incorporating handmade styles and textures, which produce unique designs.
Brandon / ShaunHello all, I’m Shaun Patrick Dorris, I’m an experienced designer with a passion for experimental forms, user interaction and fabrication. Ask me about my lasers. *Pew Pew*
Circe / MelenieSo ... I’m a graphic designer. I like pretty things. I like making pretty things. But I enjoy making pretty smart things more. Oh, and I love Corgies.
Shaun / JohnFor me, the discipline of design involves a never-ending learning process. I believe that strong concept development gives design meaning and I enjoy the challenge of grounding my work with critical design thinking.
Melenie / ShaoshaoI have descended from my mighty cloud to wreak havoc upon your world. Fear me for my name is Shaoshao.
John / AmarísHi there! My name is Amarís de la Isla. And I’m a design-aholic. Textures, typography and colors are what catch my eclectic eye. From the simple to the complex, I appreciate the multifaceted layers great design has to offer. Once you get to know me, you'll find that I have a thing for mustaches, calaveras and cute critters.
Shaoshao / VictoriaHello! My name is Victoria Rosenbloom. I am a graphic designer who loves simplicity with touches of vibrant color! I have a special interest in creative packaging. I also love all forms of design media, especially the messy ones!
Amarís / SereenGreetings & Marhaba! My name is Sereen Zaini. I’ve never met a problem that design couldn't solve! The limitless possibilities of design fascinate me. As a designer I can utilize a variety of medias and create unique solutions that are functional and fun!
