Biography: Talia Cotton is a graphic designer and creative coder from New York City.  Talia recently graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Communication Design. While an undergraduate, Talia helped teach coding to a class of Master’s students, and guest-instructed undergraduate typography at City University of New York.
