TAKO PHARSENADZE / RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

Tako Pharsenadze is a senior from Batumi, Republic of Georgia, currently majoring in Graphic Design and minoring in Fine Arts and Business of Art and Design. Ever since she was little, she has been practicing creative expression. Her first memories include creating nonsensical shapes on papers, walls, or furniture. This innate passion for creation led her to pursue an art career; although requiring a long journey involving various art practices and explorations of diverse mediums, before ultimately discovering her niche. In her design practice, she loves to leverage different research methods to validate creative solutions and produce designs that consider the brand as a whole. Being a traditional artist before discovering graphic design, she used to be overwhelmed by the grid systems and typography that ironically have become her favorite things. If she’s not designing, she’s probably reading, cooking, watching a movie, or practicing the saxophone.

WHAT ARE YOU READING, LISTENING TO, WATCHING (BOOKS, MOVIES, TV, SOCIAL MEDIA, MUSIC)?

I am currently listening to Aphex Twin, Radiohead, King Krule, and PJ Harvey since they all go well with the book I’m reading, which is Demian by Hermann Hesse.

DO YOU CURRENTLY, OR DO YOU PLAN TO, DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES?

I’ve been interested in learning more about sustainable design practices. As a graphic designer, it is often difficult to get away from unsustainable production methods. I want to design with sustainability in mind and possibly create educational resources, campaigns, and environmentally-conscious designs for other artists.

DO YOU FEEL THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS PREPARED YOU TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND A JOB?

Absolutely. I am forever grateful to Ringling College, which not only provided me with incredible knowledge and skills to succeed in the industry, but also allowed me to create lifelong bonds with talented students, mentors, and faculty.
