Kyla Paolucci is a graphic designer and educator who is interested in how digital tools, political economy, and playful making can intersect in meaningful ways. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, but she’s from North Providence, Rhode Island. She can cook a mean mushroom risotto.

Commercially, Kyla practices design under her studio moniker, Patio where she works with individuals and organizations to build visual identities that align to their values. As an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at St. John’s University, Kyla encourages students to explore vernacular histories and socially responsive design outcomes. She does a lot of pedagogical research that focuses on accessible tools and the tension between craft and optimization.
