MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

Gabrielle McKeever is a senior in the Graphic Design BFA program at Michigan State University. She is actively involved in the design department, serving as the president of the AIGA Student Group and as a teaching assistant for the History of Graphic Design courses. Gabrielle strives to be a well-rounded designer, finding experience in editorial for a fashion magazine on campus and creating promotional materials for the student government. Her favorite thing about design is visual storytelling, and she aspires to create projects that feel all-consuming for viewers. Gabrielle hopes to go into brand identity once she graduates. Apart from design, she loves watching MSU basketball and hanging out with her two French bulldogs.

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?

I am most inspired by collaboration. I love to bounce ideas off fellow students and see how we approach problems differently in order to gain perspective.

IF THERE WERE NO BARRIERS AND CONSTRAINTS, WHAT PROJECT WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK ON?

I would want to work on the branding team for the Google Cloud Next Conference, as I was really inspired hearing VSA Partners discuss that project a couple of years ago.

WHAT ARE YOU READING/LISTENING TO/WATCHING?

I am currently listening to Past Lives, a podcast about the different backgrounds of designers at Spotify.
