The eloquent yet eclectic Gail Anderson is many things: a former award-winning art director at RollingStone magazine; a visionary behind many New York City broadway theater graphics; an artist who designed the USPS’s 150th anniversary Emancipation Proclamation stamp; an author of numerous typography books; a woman of color who joins the mere 3% female creative directors in our industry. She is an inspiring art director, relevant designer and inspirational teacher.
In addition to her passion for her craft, she has a gift for nurturing emerging and underrepresented creatives. This is why we have invited her back to DC to speak at an event dedicated to the AIGA DC Design Continuum Scholarship Fund.
