Guild member Eunique Yazzie is an indigenous designer who grew up in Flagstaff, South Dakota, and in Chinle, Arizona, on Navajo Nation land. She’s a graphic designer, social entrepreneur, poet and story teller. More importantly, she is an activist who gives back to her community (and ours) by elevating indigenous culture and designers, educating non-indigenous designers, and building community.
What Eunique Yazzie wants most is, “To be seen as an Indigenous professional working to shine a light on the Indigenous perspective in creative fields ” And Eunique does just that. As a professional graphic designer she has continually worked hard towards achieving her goals – as both an Indigenous designer and a creative advocate. Those two roles are hand-in-hand with her values and achievements. Eunique has worked mostly with local businesses in the Arizona community and has completed national work for Native organizations. She continues to work with creatives in the community, dedicating herself to being a driving force in the Phoenix area, and an inspiration to her fellow artists, designers, and creatives in the community.
