Galina Yordanov – SVA MA Design Research

Galina Yordanov

MA Design Research, Writing & Criticism (2020)

Galina Yordanov is an art director based in Lebanon. She received her BFA in Graphic Design from the American University of Beirut. Diving directly into advertising, her work at Leo Burnett taught her the power of storytelling and allowed her to take part in creating nationwide campaigns that transform the way people think, feel, and act. 

Through research, she is interested in challenging the design structures that form today’s world. Her experiences have led her to believe that by asking more questions, we are able to see the world more accurately and change our global reality.
