Dan Sinclair is currently a 2D Student at Cranbrook Academy of art, and has recently graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He is interested in the idea of the autonomous designer and creating a convergence between graphic design, fine art, and research. Merging these otherwise separate art forms together in a practice has allowed Sinclair to do both practical, clearly informative projects, as well as expressive experimental form making. He does work in many different realms including,corporate industry for clients, nonprofit organizations, and uses design projects in the way that contemporary conceptual artists work, as a means of engaging with the world, learning from audiences, or shaping material contexts for communities. Sinclair has instincts for developing design projects as a means of mining communities with an almost anthropological eye.
