Artist’s Statement

Hello! Welcome!

I’m Mackenzie Bukens, a third year BFA Graphic Design major double minoring in Digital Arts and Sciences and Art at the University of Florida.

I am on the executive board as Graphic Design Lead for the University of Florida’s Thrift Club in which I create graphic design content for the club’s Instagram and monthly newsletter.

I am part of the 2025 University of Florida Preview Staff Cohort sponsored by New Student and Family Programming at the university. I work closely with NSFP as the graphic designer for the university’s Family Weekend.

I’m well-versed in traditional and digital mediums with certificates in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I have experience in AfterEffects, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva Studio, and Miro.

I previously attended Design and Architecture Senior High in Miami, Florida.
