Sophie LaBell
Artist Bio
Sophie LaBell received her BFA in Graphic Design from the School of Visual Arts in 2017. With a focus on
design for social change, Sophie has designed for dozens of political candidates running for office.
These projects have included brand identities, digital and print assets, and visual campaigns for political
candidates and social causes across the United States.
Alongside her experience in design, Sophie has maintained a lifelong commitment to drawing and visual
art. Coursework in anatomy, medical terminology, and public health expanded her understanding of the
body and its complexities– insights that deeply inform her studio practice. She is actively engaged in
arts organizations throughout New Jersey, where she is continuously evolving her work at the
intersection of art, science, and personal narrative.
