Divya Das

CALIFORNIA COLLEGE OF THE ARTS (CCA)

Divya Das is a graphic designer from Bombay, India interested in making beautiful things and using design to elevate causes she believes in. Divya is a perfectionist who loves to get her hands dirty – she enjoys getting lost in the messy process of making, collaborating, and exploring; and making order through cohesive design systems and carefully chosen type and graphics. In her free time, Divya likes to screenprint, care for her plants, and drink chai.
