She considered herself a wanderess, a traveller, a dreamer, who loves to capture the charms of a place through her camera lens. An aspiring information designer who has a purpose to bring about change through the combinations of her art, writing and research. Her hobbies include painting ,gardening, writing poetry, singing karaoke, and cooking food for her love ones. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and family and will have your back no matter what. “Your design is the weapon, your style is the ammunition. Stay wild, and stay unbolted to create and to destroy as you see fit. “

R a q u e l C h a m b e r l a i n Raquel Chamberlain expresses herself through her visual artwork, short films, and her style. She brands herself as a content creator, information designer, and an artist. She appreciates surrounding herself with other creative minds, having interesting conversations, and exploring different cultures and destinations. Her love for design drives her aspiration to travel and to be inspired by people, places, and ideas. "Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated." -PaulRand

Katrina Tabuli brands herself as an innovator, illustrator, information designer, and a procrastinator. She loves to leave everything up to the last minute. She appreciates messy sketches and listens to classic rock and alternative music, which explains her collection of dark and unusual coloured lipsticks. Seriously, she rocks her purple black, and blue lipsticks. Despite her sarcastic humour, she still tends to be brutally honest about everything. In other terms, she has no filter. One of the words she lives by are said by Stefan Sagmeister, “Work your ass off. Don’t be an asshole.”
