HEATHER WRIGHT
Heather Wright is in her last quarter of a BFA in Graphic Design and a User Experience Design minor at DePaul University. Her recent projects explore a variety of interests such as publication design, merchandise, and exhibition design. After revisiting the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, where she grew up, she has been fascinated with the type of work that goes into creating a successful and impactful exhibit accessible to all ages. Her work also tries to improve the experience for the audience, looking at all the small details especially in areas like wayfinding. She hopes to be able to give back to non-profits like those that raised her and connected her with her community so they can continue to educate future generations. Beyond her career in design, Heather is constantly trying to learn new things whether it be about the world around her, or miscellaneous fun facts. Because while she knows that curiosity killed the cat, it is satisfaction that brought it back.
It is hard to pin down exactly what ‘good design’ is because I think it can be very nuanced. However, I find good design tends to have thought and reason behind it. So much of design involves storytelling and being able to showcase that in the work makes it much more compelling.
There is a lot to be said with new trends in the field that I find concerning, but there are so many positive ones that get overlooked because of that. I have been seeing more and more design for good in the last several years. People are coming together to create work that uplifts our communities and tries to create change and I am so excited to see that.
