Introduction to Marina Liu!

My name is Marina Liu, and I'm a fourth year senior at San Francisco State University, spending my very last semester in the Design & Industry department (DAI), as a Visual Communication Major. The degree is B.S. (aka Bachelor of Science)! I'm also minoring in Marketing because I thought it sounded fancy and neat.

I love wit, puns, and clever, deliberate design! I'm committed to ice cream therapy and constantly challenging my creative boundaries. I'm a firm believer in recently disappearing artforms, such as analog photography and print design, and am heavily influenced by music/concert posters, photojournalism, and surrealist illustration.

In the distant future upon graduating college, I hope to work in the industry and gain firsthand experience before possibly pursuing graduate studies.

I am always looking up and seeking new adventures over the horizon!

Six words that describe me are:

• Practical
• Witty
• Resilient
• Independent
• Curious
• Balanced
