Bio

Hello! I'm Lucy—a visual designer pursuing an MFA in Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design. I work in a variety of design applications: web and digital, brand identity systems, print editorial/publication design, 3D modeling, and more.

In my free time, I love to read, and I'm a big fan of cat memes. I love shopping secondhand and am an avid Depop shopper. I fill my cup by walking outdoors, running on the treadmill, or doing mat pilates. I'm always looking for my next favorite restaurant to rank on Beli (ranked #48,000).

If I couldn't be a designer, I would open a bookstore + cafe.
