Silpa Joe

RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

Silpa is a senior Graphic Design student. Even as a child, she was a curious problem solver who enjoyed questioning things and challenging ideas. As a designer, she observes what’s happening socially around her to pull into her work. Silpa enjoys building brand identities with a strong concept and story using a variety of visual styles, from vector graphics to collages to doodles. As her college career draws to an end, Silpa hopes to continue to learn and grow as a designer, creating design that is meaningful and functional while still being visually pleasing.
