Bailey McCarthy
/ˈbeɪ.li/ məkɑ́ːθɪj : graphic designer, black coffee enjoyer
Bailey graduated from Buffalo State University with her BFA in Graphic Design. Her work focuses on marketing, branding, illustration, and 3D Fabrication.
She has been featured at the Carnegie Art Center, Buffalo State’s Czurles-Nelson Gallery, and the Burchfield Penny Art Center.
When she isn’t designing, she can be found reading on her plant-filled balcony, cooking up something from her Italian-American family cookbook, doodling in one of many sketchbooks, roller skating by the Niagara River or watching campy Old Hollywood movies with her long-term partner and their tortoiseshell cat, Olive.
