Please give a warm welcome to Vivian Lam, our new Treasurer! She’s currently pursuing a BA in Design and Minor in Graphic Design. Say hi to Vivian (.lambchop)! 💘

As a child, Vivian loved watching cartoons and anime, and her creativity sparked from trying to draw a character from a show. She realized it wasn't that bad, so she continued drawing and doodling. However, she didn't really got into graphic design until she started taking design classes at PCC. That is where she found her passion and decided to pursue a career in design. Outside of design, she loves collecting cute Japanese blind boxes, enjoys eating out with friends, and catching up on sleep.

Please give a warm welcome to Diana Nguyen, our new Secretary-in-Training! She will be taking over as Secretary when Jane Shuieh graduates in Fall 2022. Diana is currently pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design. Say hi to Diana ( )! 💘

Growing up, Diana was always drawn by art and learning different art techniques. It wasn’t until her high school years that she found her interest in graphic design. She remembers it all started with Canva where she used it to design flyers for club events. Luckily, Diana pursued her studies in graphic design in college and discovered the power of Illustrator and Photoshop. While doing both college and previous work experience at a design agency, she found that she really enjoys creating packaging design, branding, UX/UI, and editorial designs! Currently, Diana is working at a real estate agency. She loves working in a team environment and seeing how everyone’s art style can come together cohesively. Outside of design, you can find Diana binging Netflix shows, anime, and Korean dramas, playing games such as Valorant or League of Legends, and building custom mechanical keyboards!
