Mira Patel, design and visuals editor

Junior Mira Patel is excited to be part of MacJ for her second year as the design and visuals editor. She is a visual arts major in the Fine Arts Academy and looks forward to spotlighting McCallum’s unique fine arts programs. Last year, two of Patel’s main highlights on staff were reporting on SXSW and designing covers for the print issues. This year, Patel looks forward to teaching design to other journalism students in her new role and writing more stories. When she isn’t creating art, Patel enjoys traveling the world and listening to music.
