Graphic Designer, Communications Office Graphic Designer, Communications Office

Shanice Aga is a Khoja-American designer with over seven years of experience working across digital, print, and experiential design for cultural institutions, museums, artists, and brands. As a graphic designer in the Communications Office at VCUarts, she creates marketing materials, develops branding strategies, and produces design work for all School of the Arts departments.

Prior to this role, Shanice worked as an Exhibitions Graphic Designer at the Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU, where she collaborated with artists on large-scale installations and murals, and taught as an Adjunct Professor at Virginia Tech’s School of Architecture + Design. Shanice earned an M.A. in Material Culture and Public Humanities (2020) and a B.Arch in Architecture with a Minor in Art History (2018) from Virginia Tech.

Her personal practice spans a range of categories, scales, levels of intimacy, and layers of referentiality, driven by a deep interest in (ancient→pop) cultural phenomena, human expression, and the built environment. Outside of work, you can find her obsessing over set designs in ’90s movies, reading books + magazines, playing Pokémon GO, screen-printing at Studio Two Three, or just yapping.
