Abby Girod

I’m a full-time creative who appreciates all kinds of design from art to software to architecture. I believe that behind every object or experience there should be a good story and an equally compelling design.

In my current work as a graphic artist, I draw from a wide range of professional and personal experiences.

In 2010, I graduated from Bard College with a major in Studio Art and minor in Physics. My senior thesis was a large-scale sculpture, which consisted of playground elements spanning 90 feet, and for which I did all the fundraising (pre-Kickstarter). After graduating, I entered a Master of Architecture program at California College of the Arts. My first architectural internship was at the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco.

In 2012, I left the world of architecture for the realm of technology, and worked as a Product/Project Manager for both mobile and web experiences. Most recently, I'm proud to have spearheaded the first mobile app for MasterClass, a platform that is connecting the world's greatest minds with those eager to learn. After many years working as a Product Manager, I've returned to my roots in the visual arts.

In my spare time, I like to dabble in all kinds of making, from furniture and drawing to greeting cards and sewing.
