MARYLAND INSTITUTE COLLEGE OF ART (MICA)
From the time she got her first nameplate necklace, Victoria has been obsessed with typography. Now a senior, Victoria is majoring in graphic design with interest in a variety of media. While at MICA, her design work has focused on branding, editorial, and interactive collateral that incorporates digital and analog processes in striking and innovative ways. Most recently, she has been developing a body of work that explores culture and heritage, and examines aspects of her Latinx identity. Though her design career has already taken her all over the world, her favorite place to visit is her hometown of Miami.

HAVE THE CHALLENGES OF 2020 CHANGED HOW YOU THINK ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN AND DESIGNERS?
I have always valued design and its ability to affect change. Design has been part of movements, protests, and action across the world since long before I was born. I don’t think my view on this has changed, but recent events have made me more aware of the personal responsibility designers have to our communities. We should use design to counter binary thinking and polarizing rhetoric.
