KJ Straub-MacCanon is a true green chile-loving Burqueño at heart and will always have the Southwest run through his blood. A fascination with the arts and theatre led to a BA in Theatre from UNM in 2003, graduating Cum Laude and in 2017, KJ earned his BFA in Communication Design from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, graduating Magna Cum Laude. His eclectic collection of knowledge and interests not only gives him the ability to communicate with countless cultures and generations but also shows through in all his design and illustration projects.
