Lynn Mandziuk

Lynn Suyeko Mandziuk is a Denver-based multi-disciplinary artist and professor at the University of Colorado Denver. First and foremost, Lynn considers herself a storyteller as well as a creative problem solver. While she is a Jill of all trades, she holds a BFA in Illustration (with a minor emphasis in animation) and a MFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design, with accolades. She believes that all creative processes inform and influence creativity in other mediums, and has experience in illustration, fine art, graphic design, design for web and UI/UX, motion graphics and animation, music composition, sound design and music performance, acting, writing, marketing, and rock climbing. It is her personal belief that expression is a philosophy and life is experiential. The resulting effect leaves one with the idea that the more that is known the more one can express to a diverse range of people. Lynn has over 16 years experience as a professional designer and illustrator, six years experience teaching as an art professor. She is adept in Design Thinking Iteration processes as well as creative strategy. 
Currently, Lynn is working on her craft as a creative storyteller and figuring out how to bridge the gap between traditional art formats into a modern technological realm. She is trying to find the most authentic format to tell her stories as well as others, be it through branding, illustration, writing, animation, or whatever is next on the agenda.
