UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS
Perry Coker is a senior earning her BFA in Graphic Design at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Her upbringing in Florida inspires much of her bold and colorful designs, infusing everyday life with humor and whimsy. Perry’s work spans a variety of media and her love for hand-driven processes informs her solutions to design problems. She aims to reveal the complexity and nuances of being human while challenging people to think differently about design. When she is not designing, you can find her reading cookbooks, making pasta, hiking, or learning a new craft. Perry is excited for the opportunities coming next in her career.
