Sanáa Simmons is a graphic designer, illustrator, and text-based artist born in the Bronx, New York, and based in Miami, Florida. She graduated with her Bachelor's in Graphic Design and Fine Arts at the New World School of the Arts College and the University of Florida.
Her text-based work embodies the communication of text as imagery while exploring the concept of redefining and repurposing known items and materials. Her work starts in a digital-based format and then she uses her typography as image transfers on various materials, such as fabric and wood, to create a different meaning and purpose for the work itself. She also creates abstract explorations that become an inspiration for her textwork made of materials such as shredded paper, text transfers, and more. Sanaa is a freelancer and has worked with the Japanese beauty company, Shiseido, receiving an honorary award for creating a piece for their office space, based on their Trust 8 Principles.
She has a great passion for graphic design and she hopes that passion is portrayed in the work she produces.
