Holly Blessen is a tetrachromatic Design Provocateur with an eidetic memory. Her BA degree is from Columbia College, with an emphasis on film and visual design. By day, she is a visual designer of educational content, helping students learn by presenting information in many different ways. At night she creates immersive experiences in virtual worlds. She is equally at ease manifesting an interactive digital environment or creating physical objects such as props, costumes, and jewelry. Holly was born and raised in Chicago, which means she NEVER puts ketchup on a hot dog.
