Katie Kiesewetter is pursuing her MFA in Graphic Design. Kiesewetter completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Iowa in 2018 with a BFA in Graphic Design, a BA in English, and a minor study in Gender, Women’s, & Sexuality Studies. Her research interests include art as activism, feminist and queer punk movements, advocacy for victim/survivors of gender-based violence and discrimination, and the ways we can use art and design as tools to express and communicate not just information, but the spectrum of human emotion.

In addition to her academic studies, Katie is the Lead Graphic Designer at Big Grove Brewery, specializing in package design and brand identity.
