INFO


Deborah Khodanovich (she/her) is a designer and educator from Toronto, now living in Providence, RI after recently completing her MFA in Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her practice explores gossip as a way of producing and sharing knowledge—thinking about how women’s information networks operate and how intimacy can act as a design methodology. 

She works across typography, textiles, and bookbinding, making things that question who gets to create knowledge and how it moves between people. Deborah is interested in how we attribute ideas, the way knowledge circulates through communities, and what gets valued or dismissed.

INFO


I'm a designer from Toronto, currently doing my MFA in Graphic Design at RISD. My work explores gossip as a way of producing and sharing knowledge—how women's information networks operate, how intimacy can work as a design methodology, and who gets to decide what counts as knowledge. I've also taught at RISD and OCAD University, which keeps me thinking about how we share and learn from each other. When I'm not in the studio, I'm knitting, having bonfires at the beach, and gossiping with my close friends (research, obviously).
