Briar Levit is an Associate Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University. Levit’s feature-length documentary, “Graphic Means: A History of Graphic Design Production,” which follows design production from manual to digital methods, established an obsession with design history—particularly aspects not in the canon. She currently collaborates with Louise Sandhaus & Brockett Horne, and Morgan Searcy on The People’s Graphic Design Archive. Princeton Architectural Press published the book of essays she edited, called “Baseline Shift: Untold Stories of Women in Graphic Design History.”
