Vee Talbert’s workspace

Vee Talbert is a self-taught designer, artist, and freelance photographer that is currently working as a full-time graphic artist for NASA.

When she isn’t working you can usually find her dabbling in one of her passions of politics, tattoos, hiking, social justice, shopping local, appreciating a nice typeface, and spending time outside.

💡 Her desk is made from an IKEA worktop and two sets of drawers, the left side for storing camera and technical equipment, and the right side for my paper products, pens, pencils, and art supplies. There is also a contractor power strip and cable raceway mounted underneath, so that everything stays powered and charged but out of sight.
