About Linsey Silver

I’m a Graphic Designer and Data Visualization Specialist with diverse experience using visual thinking to collaborate, problem solve, tell stories, have fun, and communicate complex ideas to the public. I am the principal of Element 47 Design, a lifelong learner and visual thinker. I have an MPS in Data Analytics and Visualization from Maryland Institute College of Art, an MFA in Design from California College of the Arts, and a BA in Communications, Legal Institutions, Government and Economics from American University. I have an extensive background in print, exhibition design, multilingual typography information design and visual storytelling. My MPS Capstone project, It Matters, was selected as the Capstone Award Winner for Spring 2023. I have also been published in “Becoming a Graphic Designer”, and have appeared in several PRINT Regional Annuals and the Washington Post. Linsey is the past Director of Teaching and Learning at the DC Language Immersion Project and former professor of Graphic Design at American University.
