the team

Hello

there

Welcome and thanks for stopping by! We are the 2022–2023 Western Washington University Design BFA cohort, a dedicated group of 12 designers specializing in motion, branding, illustration, photography, packaging, and so much more. Over the course of this school year we've developed as professionals, designers, people, and friends. This site is your home base to view all of our work over the past few years during our time in the WWU Design program.

Hi there! My name is Charlotte Offin, and I am so honored to be a part of the 2023 BFA cohort! I’m originally from Snohomish, but I have been living here in Bellingham for a few years now. I have always had a passion for illustration and tactile design, but have recently fallen in love with motion, especially cell animation.

Hi there! I’m Isabelle and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of such a talented cohort this year. I'm originally from Kent, Washington but I came up to Bellingham to pursue the design major and I've been here ever since! Over the years I’ve really come to enjoy illustration, packaging, and motion design the most. When I’m not glued to my laptop screen, I enjoy bouldering, cooking, and playing animal crossing

Hi, I’m Lacoya! I’m excited to be part of this year's BFA cohort. I feel lucky to be surrounded by such a talented group and am looking forward to seeing where this year takes us! I’m originally from the Oregon Coast but Bellingham has become my second home after moving here to pursue design at Western. Over the years I’ve come to enjoy packaging, illustration and (more recently) motion design. When I’m not working on design projects I like to spend my time outside or watercoloring. I look forward to sharing my work with you all!

Hi there! I’m Nick, I am most passionate about motion, branding, and 3D design. Collaborating with other motivated people and problem solving on projects is one of my favorite aspects of design. When I am not dreaming about the After Effects UI, I am either skateboarding with friends or doodling ill-proportionate animals in my sketchbook.

Hey, I’m Phoebe! I’m stoked to be a part of the BFA this year and it’s been such a great journey so far. The Pacific Northwest easily became a home to me, but I spent my whole life growing up in Ventura, CA. I got into graphic design by making t-shirts for my high school music department, where I played French horn for several years. In my free time, I enjoy art in all forms, including illustrating, writing, and sewing.

Hello hello! I’m Wendy and I’m thrilled to be a part of the 2023 BFA cohort! A little bit about me: I am super into packaging design as well as the design of physical spaces. When I’m not hunched over my laptop working on projects, I love to chef it up in the kitchen, watch animated movies, and hang out at dessert cafes. Looking forward to sharing my work with you all!
