Sandie Maxa and Mark Sanders

We are partners at Q Collective, a graphic design studio and research practice founded in 2002. We are graphic design professors at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and additionally Sandie is the director of the Graphic Design Master of Arts program. We are co-authors of the 6th and 7th editions of Typographic Design: Form and Communication. We write, draw, code, compose, and build every day. Our design practice embraces diverse industries, mediums and content. We experiment freely in form, process, and message; design/build systems helping organizations to communicate, collaborate, and manage their assets; and everything in between.
