I’m very close with my AIS classmates and enjoyed meeting up with and getting to know other alumnae this fall in New York City and at AIS during the inaugural meeting of the National Alumnae Advisory Council. Being back on campus for a few days and getting to know some of the current students was truly wonderful.”

Living in a vibrant, diverse city and having the opportunity to interact with so many interesting people each day provides Jacqueline “Jackie” Keh ’97 with infinite sources of inspiration for her art. Searching for the creative energy of a fast-paced urban setting, she moved to San Francisco shortly after graduating from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. Keh began her career in the gift product industry, working at Marcel Schurman/Papyrus and then Punch Studio as a developer and designer of greeting cards. She currently serves as an IT support engineer at Eventbrite, a rapidly growing eventticketing company. She also takes on freelance design projects in her spare time. “AIS taught me to juggle multiple demanding tasks at once. I spent a lot of time in the art room and have fond memories of the close friends I made there. We’ve kept in touch since graduation, and I’ve been fortunate to witness the group ‘grow up’ through weddings, having children, etc. I know we have a special bond that’s rare, and I can thank Agnes Irwin for that!” she said. Keh looks forward to starting a business of her own that blends her passions for design and technology. Until then, she will continue to enjoy riding her bike to work, traveling, cooking and exploring the Bay Area. To fuel her creativity, she likes printmaking and figure drawing. On the technical side, she participates in various computer programming workshops. As much as she loves her computer, Keh still keeps her traditional artistic skills sharp by getting her hands dirty with painting and crafting.
