Online Student Showcase 2025

Hey! I'm Alexia, welcome to my world of creative outbursts where emotion and intent collide. I’m a curious mind, inspired by the idea that design is a way of understanding the world and shouldn't need permission to exist loudly. I enjoy typography, packaging, and bringing life to thoughts that seem impossible. I believe that if ideas don't ‘sting’ a little, they are not honest enough. I'm driven by empathy, lived experiences and the belief that design should hold meaning, and that's exactly where my work lives, between structure and imperfection, because that’s the part people remember.

Hey, I'm Cayla. I make things look good and make sense (in that order). No jargon, no fluff, just honest design that connects. I believe good design should feel like a conversation: casual, clever, and a little unexpected.

Hi there! I’m Chels. As a communication designer and illustrator, I build bold, story-driven worlds through motion, packaging, and expressive design. My work invites you to scratch beneath the surface, to explore emotion, curiosity, and connection through every crafted detail.

From doodling in notebooks as a child to bringing ideas to life through design today, creativity has always been part of who I am. I approach every project with curiosity and an eye for detail, always seeking to uncover what makes it unique. To me, design is about looking beneath the surface to find meaning and connection. Before I begin creating, I take the time to understand the people, stories, and perspectives behind the work. My goal is to craft thoughtful, engaging designs that resonate with people and leave a lasting impression.

Welcome to my mind. I’m a communication designer who sees the world as a series of stories waiting to be drawn. My work lives in the space between emotion and imagination, where ideas take shape through line, texture, and rhythm. Illustration is how I translate thought into feeling — a language I use to connect people to meaning. Every design I create begins as a sketch in the mind — curious, imperfect, and alive — and grows into something that speaks louder than words.

Hey, I’m Faye, I am a communication designer who believes design feels most alive when it feels human. I love balancing intention with emotion, structure with spontaneity, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes funny, always honest. My work connects through feeling, not just design.
