Namdev has been practicing graphic design in some form since the age of 15, when he was making punk zines by hand or on borrowed computer time.
In the 16 years following, he received a BFA in Graphic Design from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, where his work was awarded with two merit scholarships and recognized by the AIGA, and gained experience working in a variety of settings: chief designer at Intermedia Arts, a non-profit art center in Minneapolis; in-house designer on Target’s brand team; and working with ad agencies.
In addition, he continues to produce art works and products that use the language and methodology of graphic design as their means.
He recently began teaching in the Continuing Studies department at MCAD and hopes to continue to teach and conduct workshops.
