The duo first met about three years ago after connecting on Instagram. “It was relieving and warming to meet someone whose values align with mine, like Adina,” shares Keyra. “People don’t understand that art is beyond aesthetic purposes. It can also tell a story and can be a powerful tool for addressing important issues.” Check out @design to learn more about Adina and Keyra’s work and creative process.
