Top SchoolCara Buzzell is a Brand Experience Designer with eight years crafting bold editorial, motion, and environmental graphics for media brands, museums, and cultural institutions. She has led art direction and multidisciplinary campaigns at Complex and Complex NTWRK, producing motion-rich social rollouts, experiential stage and booth design, and branded content for major partners like Verizon and Lexus. As a former art director at Jacobin and an active freelancer, she combines typographic rigor and book design sensibilities with animation and zine production to tell stories across print, screen, and space. She teaches typography and design at RISD, bringing studio practice into the classroom and mentoring emerging designers. Currently shaping brand experiences at OpenAI, she blends cultural fluency with systems thinking to translate editorial voice into immersive visual programs. Less obvious: her background in type design and MFA training gives her a distinctive, research-driven approach to motion and environmental graphics.
