Hi, I’m Geena Benson. I’m originally from South Africa and now live between Los Angeles and San Diego. I’m a graphic design student and freelance photographer with a strong interest in creating work that feels thoughtful, intentional, and personal.
I earned my Associate of Arts in Graphic Design from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in June 2024. At graduation, I was honored to receive the FIDM Outstanding Student in Graphic Design Award, selected by my professors in recognition of my creative work and growth throughout the program.
Alongside design, I’ve been working as a freelance photographer since August 2018. My experience includes social media management, on-location and studio photography, and collaborating with families, young adults, and dance communities. In 2023, my photography was recognized as a finalist in the Pas De Deux Photo Competition.
I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design, with a minor in Photography, at Otis College of Art and Design, with an expected graduation in May 2027.
I’m drawn to projects that combine strong visual storytelling with collaboration, and I enjoy working across both design and photography to bring ideas to life.
