Heidi (Class of 2025) is a fourth-year Art Studio and Design double major. She works as a student designer at SAMC, creating various content from logos to stickers. She previously worked at the California Aggie as a graphic illustrator. Her interest in and love for graphic design and art stems from her childhood love of reading, and admiring book covers and graphic novel illustrations.

Outside of SAMC, Heidi is a printmaker, and she enjoys listening to her favorite music, watching movies, listening to YouTube video essays and audiobooks and taking walks!

Where are your influences (creative and/or personal)?

I truly believe that inspiration can be derived from anywhere! When designing, I like observing and drawing from existing, historical designs, as well as visual patterns and oddities that naturally occur in the world.

Do you have a favorite quote?

Maybe a bit overused, but I do love "memento mori, memento vivere."  It's a good reminder to enjoy the present, love freely, give ourselves grace and, most importantly, give life all you've got! Basically, YOLO!
