PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY

Macy Eiesland is a Senior Graphic Design student at Portland State University. Her work weaves color, texture, and typography to create playful, engaging narratives. She is interested in how we see the world around us and is extremely interested in the spaces we move about. Macy dives into her work wholeheartedly and digs deep, seeing to create concept-driven work that continues to grow beyond her touch.

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?

My community! I am so lucky to live in Portland and go to Portland State where the design community is so intertwined with school and is available as a resource and guiding light.

IF THERE WERE NO BARRIERS AND CONSTRAINTS, WHAT PROJECT WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK ON?

I would love to design a hotel from the graphics to the furniture, to the physical space. I love the idea of touching everything from the architecture down to a matchbook or room key.

WHAT ARE YOU READING/LISTENING TO/WATCHING?

I listen to podcasts while I work which really keeps me moving. My new favorite is: Did I Do That with Sean Schumacher. The podcast features different designers talking about the mistakes they made along the way.
