crew design
Crew Design is the joint collaboration of four young graphic designers living across the United States. Sarah, Tess, Meghan and Meghan (yes, there are two Meghans) met in 2002 in the College of Fine Arts, at Boston University. Among the crazy artist types that populated the school we met and soon became friends sharing the common interest of art and design. Years of critiques, crazy professors, travels abroad, and stressful nights ending in x-acto knife injuries bonded us for life. In 2006, we graduated and set out to pursue careers in graphic design. Adult life kicked in and soon enough we were living and working all across the United States.
