Annual Student Portfolio Review
From AIGA SLCC:
AIGA Salt Lake City’s annual Student Portfolio Review was held on Saturday, April 17, 2021. The event was shown online for a second year due to Covid!
This was an opportunity to gain valuable advice, insight, and industry information from some of the top creative professionals in our local design community.
The virtual keynote presentation was given by the innovative Mick Champayne.

Speaker Bio
Mick Champayne is a designer by daylight and an illustrator by moonlight from Chicago. In a nutshell, she loves internet culture, navel-gazing about the future, and imagining how designers can support people’s values and intentions.
Currently an associate creative director at Instrument, she likes to create experiences that have beauty AND brains: making things look beautiful with smart strategy and a thoughtful user experience. From light-hearted memes to serious social commentary, she’s happiest when her work can spark a conversation.
For an almost-uncomfortable uptick of butt drawings in your feed, you can follow her on Instagram, or find her work at mickchampayne.com.
