SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS
Dominique Marchini is a Junior graphic design major at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. She grew up in upstate New York and moved to the city when she was 18 to pursue a career in science and engineering at the City College of New York. After taking a painting class, she realized that she would like to pursue a career in the arts instead, and transferred to SVA in 2017. She loves all forms of design—web, motion and print—but she particularly loves designing and hand-making books. Currently she lives in Williamsburg and spends her free time watching movies, drawing, and playing guitar. After she graduates, she would like to pursue a career in publication design.
