BIO
Minassian’s multidisciplinary work covers all kinds of visual communication for a number of clients in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Prior to moving to the United States, Minassian worked in Beirut, Lebanon for five years as a senior art director for clients such as the Saudi Royal Family and Lebanese members of Parliament. She has worked as a self-employed web and graphic designer, taking on projects such as information architecture and website design for Loyola Marymount University’s various divisions, among many others. Minassian is a graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York City, where she earned a master of fine arts in design and technology. While at Parsons, she was awarded an ICT Fellowship by the Open Society Institute, as a result of which she traveled to Kyrgyzstan to support a non-governmental organization called Mental Health & Society. Her role focused on implementing new communication practices in information design and advocating for the causes of the NGO while working closely with the UNDP in Bishkek.
