Hello! My name is Claire Faraday, and I am a graphic designer based in New York City and Rhode Island. I have a passion for creating engaging designs that combine creativity and functionality. I graduated in 2025 from Salve Regina University with a B.A. in Studio Art, with concentrations in Graphic Design and Photography, and a Marketing Minor. With a specialized focus on package and surface pattern design, my work spans across industries. My recent projects were featured in the 2025 Senior Honors Thesis and Senior Juried Exhibition, where I received the C. Edward Flood Memorial Award for Excellence in Studio Art. I was also recognized in the Fall 2024 Best of Salve Student Show, earning awards for both Best in Motion Graphics and Best in Graphic Design. Currently, I am a Freelance Graphic Designer contributing to various design projects.
Artist Statement:
As a graphic designer, I explore the transformative power of design, discovering how it can reshape our perception of familiar elements and convey them in innovative ways. Reimagination through design is a prevalent theme throughout my work. Reimagination is interpreting an established concept, idea, or image to create a new perspective. I transform commonplace items into works of art through nostalgia and repetition of color, typography, and imagery. A key objective is to effectively communicate and remind viewers of their past positive experiences, encouraging them to make a purchase. My past design projects involve reconceptualization, where work becomes more than a form of communication for a brand, but a functional, repurposeable, and meaningful design for consumers to enjoy. Reimagination is showcased through projects involving packaging, posters, surface patterns, brand identity, motion graphics, and photography, specifically for consumer goods.
