Payton has always been a Boilermaker and an avid Purdue fan. She is a proud Purdue graduate with a degree in Visual Communications and Design and a minor in Communications. She has been the Graphic Designer for the Polytechnic since graduating in 2016. Payton designs anything from recruitment and yield mailers, to the famous annual Techie T-shirt™, building signage, magazines, swag items, promotional flyers and collateral, alumni communications, event invites and supporting materials, and more. She is a brand champion and enjoys finding new and exciting ways to portray the Purdue message. 

When she's not designing, Payton enjoys hiking, kayaking, frolicking through the mountains, and tending to her at-home zoo (Monroe - dog, Daisy - cat, Lola - cat). Want to see pictures? She will gladly show you and you will regret asking. Payton does not enjoy cold weather, Microsoft Publisher, or talking in the third person.
