About Me

My name is Graciela Sanchez and I will graduate in the Spring of 2024 with a degree in Communication Design and an emphasis in Visual Design from California State University, Monterey Bay. I have also obtained a minor in Business Marketing & Management. I currently hold the position of Social Media & Multimedia Content Support Intern for CSUMB University Communications.

I consistently take it upon myself to seek out unique and alternative perspectives and opportunities within the design world. Pushing my own boundaries and fully immersing myself in design through work, education, and passion. I envision myself as being a driving force in the design world by bringing my diversified knowledge to the table to help shape a more connected design community.
