Bio & Artist Statement - Isabelle Legaspi

Biography:

Isabelle Legaspi is a Filipino-American graphic designer born in Jersey City, New Jersey. She was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 5. Her love for art bloomed at the hospital’s arts and crafts events. Before her switch to graphic design from accounting, her high school art teacher asked her why she wasn’t in art school. That was the catalyst of change for Isabelle in 2021. She now attends New Jersey City University as a student pursuing a BFA degree with a concentration in graphic design, and aiming to become a multidisciplinary designer in the future.

Artist Statement: 

My work consists of many things, but mainly graphic design. I focus on the physical aspect like the shape of packaging, the texture of surfaces or paper, and the nuances of print. The physicality and usability of my work are central to my process. I want people to interact with my designs not just visually but also through touch. My aim is to create pieces that invite engagement, offering a tactile and visual experience that can leave a meaningful impression, even if just for a moment.
