Artist Statement

My name is Sera Knobler, and I am a junior at Hunter College studying Sociology and Media, with a concentration in Emerging Media. I enjoy simple and minimal design and although my experience with web and photography is limited, I am eager to learn. 

What interests me most is web design and typography, as well as video animation and finding ways to incorporate some of these skills into my works. Specifically, I want to create layouts for posters, and design functional illustrations for both print and web. 

Today, I am working to understand the relationship between design and the public, and I wish to explore the effects media has on a person’s decision making as well as desire to participate in the public sphere. 

To achieve this goal, I am currently designing my own website and creating a portfolio with all my works. I am working towards developing my design skills to conceptualize my personal brand and I am hoping to pursue a career in marketing and advertising, in the future, either working on projects alone or as part of a team. I look forward to expanding my knowledge and experience this year with multiple projects in different areas, to further enhance my abilities as an artist.
