Bio

Spirited, adventurous and inspired – powered by passion and tea.

Tessa’s creative thinking draws from a positive mindset, love for people and all that is unique. Having an open-mind enables her to experiment visually and take risks – flourishing more with each experience. This is Tessa’s last semester in the Design and Visual Communications program where she has discovered more about her passions and gained a better understanding of what direction she would like to go in the future. Her main aspiration is to follow her desire for fashion and editorial design in hopes of working for Free People and eventually relocating to the West Coast. Until then!

Project Description

One° is a brand and Instagram account created to educate about the causes and effects a single degree of temperature rise have on our planet. By encouraging earth healthy habits, we bring light & awareness to a cloudy & avoided subject. Through design and branding we have created a line of eco-friendly totes, containing educational printed materials. We are more than a brand – one° is a community, that works collectively to spread mindfulness about climate change. Cool kids helping a warm planet.

Research Question
