Tanya Loucas is finishing up her Honours year in the Bachelor of Design (Communication Design) (Honours) course this November. She was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia and attended high school at Carey Baptist Grammar School. In 2016, Tanya was honoured to receive a Victorian Premier's Award for Visual Communication Design after achieving a perfect score in the VCE subject.

During her university studies, Tanya was fortunate enough to complete a semester studying abroad at San Francisco State University. Whilst there, she was given the opportunity to work within a small design studio for the International Education Exchange Council collaborating with students from all over the world on the marketing of University events. This experience really broadened her passion for International Design.

On her return to Melbourne, Tanya was thrilled to complete a 12-month industry placement working as a Junior Designer in Swinburne University's marketing department. Throughout her studies Tanya has also maintained regular freelance work as a graphic design for numerous small businesses.
