Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m Genevieve, an artist and designer from Upstate NY. My usual style is modern, clean, and colorful with a feminist and environmentalist flair, combined with illustrative aspects from my fine arts background.

I graduated from Nazareth College in May of 2023 with a BS in Visual Communication Design (graphic design) after doing my first three years at the University of Buffalo. While at Nazareth, I took an internship and a subsequent job with Moyal Enterprises LLC. Through Moyal and my freelance work, I’ve been able to design for a variety of companies including Acara Healthcare, Nancy Lieberman Charities, and the American Cancer Society. In recent years, I've started corporate work and my sole proprietorship. I continue to work full-time and pursue freelance work on the side.

WHY "ROANA?"

Roana /row-on-uh/

”Roana” is a custom, shortened version of Latin's “Roanna.”

The name Roanna is derived from the Latin word “rosa,” meaning rose, and is often associated with grace and beauty. It embodies both elegance and strength, often symbolizing love and a youthful spirit (Ancestry).

ANTI-AI POLICY

Roana has a strict Anti-Generative AI and Anti-NFT policy. In the interest of having a livable planet and working ethically, Roana Art and Design does not use Generative AI in our work. Everything from Roana is 100% authentic, non-plagiarized, human-made art and design.

Generative AI has a devastating impact on the environment while killing the essence of human creativity. GenAI produces vast amounts of carbon emissions, electronic waste, and harms our ecosystems.

1 million messages sent to ChatGPT is equivalent to (Arbor.eco) 11,001 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle OR 4.3 acres of carbon absorbed by U.S. forests in one year OR 349,258 smartphones charged.

Generative AI is also often trained on artwork and literature without the consent of its creators. Plagiarism and other shady business practices make using Generative AI unethical.
