Kasity Staines was born in 2003 in Tyler, TX and is currently studying Graphic Design in the Department of Visual Art at Texas Woman’s University. Staines will graduate with a BFA in May 2025 and plans to continue her career in Dallas, TX. She is a graphic designer focused on creating impactful branding that promotes social awareness and supports community initiatives. These include programs that promote understanding for issues like homelessness, hunger, poverty, domestic violence and more. Designing for organizations that promote a positive change drive her own desire to create and fuel her passion for graphic design. 

Kasity is currently developing a BFA exhibition that includes a social media campaign and nonprofit initiative aimed at raising awareness about homelessness. Her project reflects her commitment to social good, as she focuses on supporting nonprofits and causes that make a difference in the community. This support will come about through a resource hub, volunteering opportunities for the community and donation site. Whether working on campaign materials, websites, or promotional graphics, her goal is to use design as a tool to amplify voices and promote meaningful causes.
