Kayla Everett
Hey there, my name is Kayla Everett. I am originally from Castle Rock, Washington, a tiny town about three hours south of Seattle. After high school I went into the United States Air Force where I was a medical technician for four years. I used to think that I wanted a career in medicine, but after four years of hands-on experience I decided to switch gears. I am now equipped with a BFA with a double major in graphic design and art history from ůůֱ²¥ University. My favorite projects typically include manipulating typography and making it the focal point of the design. I also love publication design and brand identity, but I always embrace the opportunity to work out of my comfort zone and build my skills. In addition to graphic design, I enjoy writing and researching. I have presented numerous art history papers at symposiums which has given me confidence in public speaking and communicating ideas effectively. My art history degree has also provided me with valuable copy editing and copy writing skills. I believe that exquisite design is a product of both brains and beauty, which I am able to execute with my unique set of skills.

Robin Weise
Currently majoring in graphic design, I will receive my BFA this May from ůůֱ²¥ University. Over the years I have gained experience conceptualizing, designing, and producing illustrations, photography, and promotional branding systems for digital and print mediums through my classes and freelance jobs. The process of creative problem solving and artistic communication has been a lifelong enjoyment for me. As a child, I was always encouraged to think creatively, planting the seed for my love of storytelling in photography, books, movies, and games. Since then I have decided to focus those experiences as a viewer into a passion for design and learning how to communicate visually as a creator. I have a passion for exploration and by consequence I have a broad range of experience in different topics and skill sets. Finding ways to bring all parts of my life into my designs and growing my knowledge is one of the most important things to me as a designer. In doing so I can continue to learn and push my work beyond itself everyday.
