Graphic Design Juror: Kareem Collie
Kareem Collie is a designer, strategist, and educator specializing in strategic and human-centered design approaches to capture, reveal, and produce visual and experiential narratives.
Kareem has spent over a decade working with everyone from non-profits & universities to corporate clients like Coca-Cola and Viacom — shaping visual and brand narratives, reimagining user experiences and coaching leaders through the design and creative process.
He brings a critical lens on design, creative leadership, as well as thoughtful creative strategy and design research and has won accolades, publishing, exhibitions, and speaking engagements for his professional and academic work. This success is due to his deep curiosity in design that goes beyond a project brief.
