About


First, my name: ilyse iris magy. ilyse is pronounced uh-LEES and magy is pronounced MAY-jee. Uppercase "I" and lowercase "L" look the same in sans serif, so I often spell it all lowercase to make that less ambiguous.


I'm a Midwestern West Coaster, hailing originally from Michigan and now living in the San Francisco Bay Area: a friendly blend of wacky and practical.


With a BFA in Sculpture and Writing from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA in Social Practice from California College of the Arts, I am an lifelong student of creative communications. Social Practice art often engages its audience as participants or even subjects, which has been a great skillset for motivating people and organizing communities. You can find my art portfolio at ilyseirismagy.com


I self-start and implement a wide array of projects and happenings, alone or in collaboration. From organizing groups to media-making to creative interventions, I empower others to be engaged participants in healthy, vibrant communities.


I love to connect people to the systems they are a part of: civic, social, material, environmental, and even biological. Not everything fun is sustainable, but anything sustainable has to be fun.
