MassArt Viewbook 🎨
Designer @ Sametz Blackstone Associates, 2019
Art Direction by Alex Budnitz
Massachusetts College of Art and Design needed to refresh their yearly view book, which is sent out to prospective students and their families before the fall semester. I was the lead designer on this project, creating the concept and designing the 96 page piece in less than two months.
After graduating from Northeastern University in 2018 🎓, McKenna cut her teeth at Sametz Blackstone, a small, 40+ year strong studio in 🦞 Boston. She then moved on to the tech space, spending her pandemic years learning the ins and outs of cutting edge technology 💻 and working with some extremely talented folks along the way. In 2023 she landed at Ellen Bruss Design, where she helps lead the design team and owns all web production 🫡 . When she's not in the studio, you can find McKenna hitting new PRs on leg press 🏋️♀️, watching Seinfeld re-runs 📺, and crocheting 🧶 while her cat tries to attack the string 😻.
