Josie Borja Truax

MILWAUKEE INSTITUTE OF ART AND DESIGN (MIAD)

Josie is a senior, majoring in Communication Graphic Design with a minor in writing, and is currently a graphic design intern at Scott Advertising. She has been creatively inclined ever since she can remember, but her passion for graphic design started in high school and she has been taking every opportunity to keep learning more ever since. Josie comes from a multicultural home and has been traveling well before she could speak. A love of traveling far and often grew from that, and she uses her experiences as inspiration in her work. She also enjoys trying new restaurants, napping and visiting home to see her pets Chancho and Larry.
