Bio

Eliza Squibb creates textile patterns to bridge the worlds of art and science: collaborating with healthcare providers, artists, and artisans to communicate health information for populations with low literacy or language barriers that prevent equitable healthcare access. Eliza’s collaborations have been grant-funded, including two Grand Challenge Exploration grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and her designs have been worn by health workers and community members in health campaigns to promote health services. Eliza currently teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. When not in the studio or in the classroom, Eliza can be found canoeing on Rhode Island’s many rivers and marshes. Photo by Dominique Sindayiganza @sindayiganza
