Hi, I'm Marielena

I am a multidisciplinary designer who values digital tools as much as the analog ones. My art often takes physical form through sculpture and model making. I use fiber, found objects, photography and collage, and am influenced by my career in textile design. I enjoy working on large display pieces, that communicate my values in social justice, equity, environmentalism and feminism. I gain great fulfillment as an educator in higher ED where I teach graphic design and CAD with a diverse perspective. I am an avid learner and believe there is an opportunity to learn in every aspect of life. I aim to meet every challenge with curiosity and compassion. These principles guide the way I arrive each day. My peers would describe me as passionate, inventive, insightful, and a positive energy contributor. I hold a BFA in Textile Design, Certificate in Fashion design, and an MFA in Graphic Design, so stay a while and check out my work.
