Chris North is a multi-disciplinary designer and artist with interests in conceptual responses to urban, environmental, and cultural issues. “I have a love for big ideas that stretch traditional norms of graphic design—if you believe in it, you can design it whether it’s a message, a system, or a dimensional form. The thinking that goes into creating a beautiful brand is the same thinking that can be applied to product development, architecture, teaching, and strategic planning. It has given me the freedom to pursue a variety of passions—designer, business owner, teacher, artist, and sustainability geek. The power of design to engage, inform, and transform people and ideas is absolutely awesome. How we design, resource, and collaborate on current issues is critical to a true entrepreneurial education."
In addition to being a member of the PSU graphic design faculty, North is also a ceramic artist. Her work has been exhibited at the Sitka Invitational.
