A Profound Impact
During her time at Penn State, Stephany Silva Fajardo's research focused on artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for designers. Under the guidance of assistant teaching professor Benjamin Andrew, she created a brand identity catalog incorporating AI elements into both the final visual compositions and the early conceptual development stages.

This project significantly expanded my knowledge as a designer in the emerging field of AI, equipping me with innovative techniques and a forward-thinking approach.
