Drew Sisk is a graphic designer and artist based in Chapel Hill and Durham, North Carolina. He earned his MFA in Graphic Design at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2018 and his BA in Studio Art and Asian Studies at Furman University in 2010. Currently he works as a book designer at Duke University Press. Previously he was Associate Creative Director at EM2, a brand design firm in Atlanta.

Most of his client work supports nonprofit organizations, higher education, and cultural institutions, and it encompasses a wide range of media, including print, video, web, and environmental installation.

His work has been recognized by Print magazine, AIGA, and the University & College Designers Association.

Drew's research and personal work blurs the lines between fine art and graphic design, using live web-based work, installation, and print media as ways to critically explore the conjunction of media, politics, and technology. His self-initiated publications are included in collections at the Yale University Hass Arts Library Special Collections, Joan Flasch Artists' Book Collection at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), Claire T. Carney Library at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and James Branch Cabell Library at Virginia Commonwealth University.
