A self-proclaimed foodie and book worm, Gina is also a strong advocate for thoughtful design. Born a Michigander, Gina attended Michigan State University – Go Green! This world traveler is a true wanderlust, gathering inspiration from the places she visits. In 2010, Gina spent a semester abroad where she studied art history and painting in Florence, Italy. In 2011, Gina earned her bachelors degree in studio art with a concentration in graphic design and painting. She also completed a specialization in publication design. Since graduation, she has moved to Chicago, pursuing her dreams of living in a big city and working in advertising. When she's not reading or designing, Gina moonlights as a "writer" – practicing calligraphy.
