At a young age, Phoebe knew she saw the world differently. Whether it was capturing moments through her iPod, illustrations or poetry, she viewed her surroundings in immense detail. She found love for spending time in the art rooms throughout school where her creative visions came to life. Working closely with her high school art teacher, she realized design was the industry she wanted to pursue. Phoebe is currently working toward completing her bachelor’s degree in graphic design with a minor in photography at Columbia College Chicago. Always searching for unique ways to be involved in the design community and to network with others, she is the graphic designer for the communications department at her school and is president of the Columbia AIGA organization—so BatesMeron felt like the perfect next step for her career. She has experience in multiple areas of design but enjoys crafting the vision and voice for brands and the strategic thinking behind it. In her free time, she loves to watch the latest new show and catch up with friends & family. You will often find her watching The Midnight Gospel with her two kitties eating Trader Joe’s pasta between classes, extracurriculars and work life. A huge music lover, you'll likely find her out at shows with friends rocking it out on a Friday night. With her observant, mellow and creative personality, she’s a great team player and knows when to seize the moment of opportunity—jumping on any project she can.
