Alice Harse
Highly concept-driven, Alice's passion for graphic design is rooted in an urge to reflect on and contextualise visual imagery across mediums. It is her mission to use her editorial skills to expand the borders of how text and images interact both digitally and physically. With a background in the social sciences, she has explored topics such as music, fashion, and internet culture, through the lens of theories of consumerism and decolonisation of graphic design.
