Creative Director

Scott’s always thinking about what’s next. He followed the river down from St. Louis last year to join the Loyola Design team, where he teaches Typography, Junior Studio and Senior Capstone. He brings a wealth of knowledge from the professional side, working for agencies and running his own studio for decades. When Scott’s not creatively directing in The Collective, you might find him digging through the recycling bin for colorful pages to overprint on, checking out estate sales in the city with more hidden memorabilia than you might imagine, or rooting for his newfound teams the Saints and Pelicans.

Art Director

Aleigha Thompson is a graphic/motion designer from Austin, TX. She is passionate about motion design and branding (the cause of her laptop crashes.) Recently, she has been spreading her love for the Loyola Design program as Art Director for The Collective and as the VP of @loyno.dsgn. She has recently (not by choice) been playing fantasy football. Go Saints!

Assistant Art Director

Kristen Goodly was born and raised in Lake Charles, LA. She is always excited to learn new techniques as her love for design evolves. As the Assistant Art Director for the Collective, Kristen draws inspiration from things both old and new. When she isn’t designing (or sometimes when she is) you can find her listening to music and watching movies!

Senior Justin Lee is a passionate graphic designer from Shreveport, LA. With a strong focus on illustrative design, he is dedicated to bringing creativity to life through his work. Recently, he has been delving into political design, and he is excited to explore this area further in his final year of college.

Junior Mimi Ryall is from beautiful Little Rock, Arkansas. She has a passion for creativity that extends beyond digital design. Alongside her graphic work, she enjoys sewing, ceramics, and collage, blending hands-on crafts with her design skills to create visuals. Mimi's artistic approach is rooted in her love for exploring different textures and forms. Her inspiration comes from her community, surroundings, and the natural world.

Junior Fredo Shaw was born in Houston, TX (where he learned how to tie his shoes for the first time.) His love for design began slightly before the pandemic, making miniature profile pictures for his friends. This pushed him further towards his passion of being a multi-disciplinary graphic designer. Fredo has a strong belief in making ideas come to life to change the world!
