SYDNEY LIPOF

“I was born and raised in Newton, Massachusetts. From a very early age, I discovered my passion for all things artistic and creative. I believe that this was due in part to my grandfather, Michael Lipof, and his artistic legacy that inspired my own. In high school, I started a personalized, college apparel business, called Next4Apparel, where I up-cycled clothing, shoes and canvases, with custom designs. In my free time, I began accepting commissions to make water color paintings of several homes. I started my professional journey, teaching as an assistant art teacher at Art 4 Your Child, as well as Camp Micah, where I was promoted to the Head of Studio Art. During my Sophomore year of college, I accepted a role as a graphic artist and content creator for Tulane’s student-run, Crescent Magazine. I began my Junior year as the Head of Graphic Design for my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, where I led a small team in branding development projects and social media graphics. It was during this time that I began my position as a graphic design assistant for Josh Hailey Studios. My role as a graphic design assistant, gave me the opportunity to work closely with a professional artist on a wide range of creative projects. I curated and digitally-edited images for Josh Hailey’s mixed-media series and led short-term projects, ordered by individual customers.”
