Deana Marzocchi is an experienced creative professional specializing in an innovative yet traditional graphic design style. She is an Associate Professor of graphic design at ����ý (����ý) and also serves as the Design Department Chair.

Marzocchi's area of expertise is branding and print design. Academically, she takes a special interest in experiential education. She has been working extensively with design students in the Design Team I and II courses that focus on authentic learning experiences, which pair students with community organizations.
