ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Chandler received a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing with a concentration of Advertising from The University of Oklahoma in 2016. She is currently completing a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at New York Institute of Technology. After graduation, she plans to pursue a senior design opportunity in Austin, TX. At the beginning of her career, she worked as a copywriter for Fortune 500 brands such as Target but had an interest in graphic design that she decided to explore by getting her MFA. Her passion for design stems from a long love affair with the fine arts. She’s painted in her off time for the past decade and spends a lot of time perusing fine art museums and reading about European Impressionism. Graphic design gives Chandler a spot to find her artistic voice while also helping brands like the nonprofit she currently works for, Project ALS, achieve their goals and mission. As a part of her thesis, she is creating a series of illustrated children’s books, exhibiting her illustration style and branding. She has a passion for nonprofits and creating work that can help make the world a little better than the day before.
