Hey there, I’m Calista (Cuh-liss-tuh)

I’m a bay area based graphic designer fueled by a steady stream of eyedrops, the composting worms in my garage who hate me, and the loving adoration of my cats who follow me to the bathroom. I primarily work with editorial design, illustration and branding, but I hope to get my hands into much more. I studied Graphic Design and Graphic Communication at California Polytechnic State Polytechnic, San Luis Obispo.

In 2021, I joined GovLoop as a Junior Graphic Designer. In 2022, I was promoted to Graphic Designer and my role grew, becoming point person for coordinating design and marketing collaboration and managing the GovLoop and NextGen brands.
