Brenda Martinez is our new Student Graphic Designer for the upcoming school year! Brenda is looking forward to supporting the MFA program through creative design for social media, residency events, and other program initiatives. She’ll help create promotional materials and visual content that highlight our students, faculty, and community.

Hi everyone! I’m really looking forward to working with everyone in the MFA program!

As part of my BFA, I’m currently working on developing my skills in UX/UI design and strengthening my branding skills, particularly in creating visual identities that communicate a brand’s personality and values.

A fun fact about me is that I love watching older movies and shows. Some of the shows I’m currently watching are The Big O and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I also have a cat named Fiona!
