Nancy has been a graphic designer in Santa Maria since college, she has been teaching at Allan Hancock college since 1997.  She also ran children’s arts programs through the SM Rec program.  

Technology keeps changing the graphic design process; due to this Nancy started a Masters program two years ago through a British Arts college.  She graduated with a Masters in Fine Digital Arts.  Through this program she learned to work creatively with technology, which she has now brought back to Hancock.  

The introduction of the computer into our creative culture is one of the biggest changes in the arts in the past century. Our ability to blend creative skills and technology is amazing.  Hancock students are getting to work on equipment that meets the industry standard. Students work in the community and interact with businesses.
