Mariah is originally from El Paso, Tx, and moved to Arizona to attend ASU. She earned a Bachelor’s degree focusing on Design Studies in Graphic Design, from HIDA (Herberger Institute for Design & the Arts). She’s worked as a Creative Designer on multiple projects that have allowed her to produce visual design concepts for companies large and small. As sustainability quickly became a priority in her design career, she went back to ASU and obtained her Masters of Science degree in Biomimicry.
She currently works at the Student Success Center as a Coordinator Sr. for W.P. Carey students and is in charge of marketing for the center. In this position she has been able to pull from her Design and Biomimicry backgrounds cohesively to produce innovative solutions and ideas to design challenges in higher education
