	Rebecca Klein Ganz Atlanta B.F.A., University of Florida; M.F.A., Rhode Island School of Design. As a student, Rebecca Klein Ganz explored the notions of non-intention and chance in the creative process of visual communication, extending the boundaries of graphic design and challenging convention and conditioned response. She has exercised these theories and practices in the multiple courses she has taught at SCAD-Atlanta. Ganz has worked as a senior graphic designer at Merge Design, a multidisciplinary Atlanta studio, where she designed annual reports, identities, Web sites, corporate collateral and branding solutions for clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to dot-com start-ups. She regularly does freelance design work, specifically focusing on non-profit organizations. Ganz often creates her graphic design work side-by-side with traditional media such as painting, drawing, experimental sewing and bookmaking. Each feeds into the other, encouraging a continuous conversation among conventionally separate processes and ways of thinking.
