ABOUT SANGEETA
In my work as a visual artist/graphic designer for my online studio (Spicyseed Art & Design),
I use creativity as fuel for social change, mental health awareness, and community connections. I enjoy organizing events designed to coach and encourage the personal creativity of the participants.
My seminar on teaching small businesses how to afford good design on a tight budget was featured in Chicago’s Women’s Business Development Center’s annual report, where I shared the cover with four other exceptional women entrepreneurs. My passion for art and helping people has guided me to currently pursue a Master's in Mental Health Counseling with an Expressive Arts concentration.
Non-profit organizations, conference organizers, educators, writers, mental health counselors, and social justice advocates --- I invite you to get in touch with me for new professional opportunities.
How may I help you today?
