MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
Miriam Deeb is a senior pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design with a minor in Animation and Comics Storytelling. Miriam’s earliest hobby was drawing, taking trips to the library in order to check out illustration books to practice with. As she’s aged, her artistic interest has expanded to many other mediums, such as painting, sculpting, and crocheting. After learning art fundamentals from these studio art explorations, Miriam became fascinated with applying these concepts to digital art and graphic design. Through personal projects and design jobs, she is constantly learning how to develop her work as a designer. Currently, Miriam works as the Director of Creative Services for the Residence Halls Association, and held a summer internship position for Know Advertising. She is passionate about creating unique, intentional design, with a love for illustration and interesting fonts.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
As an artistic person, I feel a need to surround myself with creative materials at all times. From clothing, to music, to room decorations; it’s important to me to put a form of personal expression in everything I do. In turn, I stay inspired by my curated environment as well as anything that catches my eye outside of it. I enjoy looking at old books and records at thrift stores or packaging in grocery aisles, anything with unique design to spark my imagination.
WHAT AREA OR SPECIALTY ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN?
I love design within the music industry, because of how fun and creative it can be. I design the marketing and merchandise for the MSU Spring concert, and enjoy the process of applying the sound of an artist into visual material. I would also enjoy work in publication or illustration as well.
DO YOU DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES?
Within my internship this past summer, I designed a full social and marketing campaign for an environmental non profit, as well as branding for a fundraising charity event.
