Andrea (Shaver) Carpenter

BFA ’17

Founder, Purposefully Curated


A 2017 graphic design grad from the College of Art and Design, Andrea calls herself a Curator of Purposeful Experiences because she works at the intersection of design, strategy, facilitation, and connection. Her passion is to help those in moments of transition by bringing humanity and data together. Andrea’s background as a user experience designer and strategist helps her integrate a design thinking approach to her work by designing memorable programs and experiences to help others discover and fulfill their true purpose.

She's currently enjoying life in Denver, CO, with her husband, Andrew (also an RIT grad), and their dog, Wilson. While at RIT, Andrea was involved in the performing arts and served on RIT's Student Government for three years, including being SG President in 2016-2017.
