KACIE MILLS
PHILIPPE CAO
MARYLAND INSTITUTE COLLEGE OF ART (MICA)
RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN (RISD)
Kacie Mills is an artist and activist at MICA in Baltimore MD. This spring she’ll graduate with a BA in Graphic Design and Humanistic Studies, an integrated major that has let her pursue a wide range of social issues (including economics, history, philosophy and what it means to be human in the 21st century). While her passion and skill set is design, she tries to use it to make gripping, socially conscious work about issues that are meaningful and relevant. In her opinion, it’s time to shake things up. FAVORITE COLOR? Cerulean on weekdays FAVORITE TYPEFACE? I’m not supposed to say Gotham FAVORITE APP? Recessapp.io (shameless plug!) FAVORITE TV SHOW?
Philippe Cao was born in France but has spent most of his childhood living in Japan and China. Most recently he’s worked on redesigning the native Clock app for Google’s Android devices as well as a typeface for use in synthetic-meat catalogues.
