AIGA Connecticut Presents: An Evening with Melinda Beck
You've seen her work in The New York Times and The New Yorker; for Target, Nike, and Nickelodeon; and front and center for some of our country's most pressing political and social discussions. Now, you can hear her story.
Melinda Beck joins us to discuss her thirty-year-long career working as a graphic artist. Her journey has been an unusual and winding one: from corporate design to hard hitting political illustration, children’s animation and art for bands from the local New York music scene, all while raising two children.
