Graphic & UI Designer

Cass is a self-taught graphic and UI designer based in Cebu, Philippines, with a background in computer science and physics. She approaches design the way she approaches a problem set: methodically curious, and unafraid to combine pieces that don't typically belong together. Over seven years, she has applied that sensibility across campus journalism, print media, social media, and digital advertising, with a style that leans minimal and typography-focused.

"I design to give the universe's beauty somewhere to land."

Her background includes a product design degree from NYU, business degree in brand management, a minor in behavioral science, and global design work experience across B2B data security, ed tech, and design agencies.

“My ultimate goal is to design inclusive and impact-driven experiences.”

Sound & Music Producer

“Sound design is my everyday life. It allows me to solder my own instruments, ultimately creating various sonic worlds.”

Animator

Tate Lancaster is an interdisciplinary artist with a professional background in media production, education, and program management for arts nonprofit organizations. She graduated from Brown University in 2020 with a B.A. in Literary Arts, and her continued passions for unconventional artistry and storytelling have led her to freelance work and consulting for film productions, educational initiatives, and creative agencies.

“I've always been drawn to unconventional storytelling. Some of the most powerful stories don't have any words at all."
