Bio

I’m Shauna Fowler and I’m working toward a dual degree in Design and Visual Communication and Media Studies at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. An art kid at heart, painting,drawing, and 2D media have always been a part of my life and continue to be prominent parts of my creative process. I love to bring my background in painting and drawing into my 2D graphic and digital deliverables. Although the world of design is slightly more constrained than that of fine art, the creativity required to pursue either endeavour is the same. At the heart of strong design is strong composition, even if the maker’s own hand doesn’t appear in the final product, the principles of art act as a structure upon which to design and create.

Outside of class I continue to work with 2D design as a Graphic Artist for University Housing designing promotional materials for committee,council, and client events within the University Housing System. Clients bring a lot to the collaborative design table, challenging you empathetically with creative criterion and logistically with structured deadlines. When I’m not at work or in school you can usually find me spending time outside and trying to pet your dog.

I love working with creative people from all walks of life and professional backgrounds. My Media Studies background allows focuses on the critical, societal function of media, specifically mass media, and how it shapes our personal and societal interactions. Studying media as a structure in our society allows me to better understand the consumption of the products I make and provides a context to my creative direction of making beautiful, humanist design.
