Sasha Prood is an illustrator and graphic designer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York, she runs a studio specializing in handlettering. The primary themes of Sasha’s work are the organic, natural, and scientific. The majority of these designs are carefully constructed using graphite, ink, watercolor paint, and digital media. With each project, she aims to push the boundaries of the themes and mediums she works with in order to create rich, complex visuals. Sasha has cultivated her design skills at several, highly regarded institutions. She is an alumni of Carnegie Mellon’s School of Design, The Cooper Union’s postgraduate typeface design certificate program Type@Cooper, and the School of Visual Arts’ MFA Design, entrepreneur program. Sasha has also trained abroad at St. Gallen, Switzerland’s Schule fur Gestaltung. In 2014 Sasha was selected as one of Print Magazine’s 20 Under 30: New Visual Artists, and most recently selected as both a 2015 Print Magazine Regional Design Annual and a 2016 HOW Magazine International Design Awards winner. Her client work has been published in collaboration with HarperCollins Publishers, WIRED Magazine UK, Bergdorf Goodman, SPACE NK, Milton Glaser Inc., and BBH New York.
