Ace Ty Is Building Universes With Her Design Work
"Ever since I came out of the womb, I was this rambunctious child who was obsessed with art.”
👋
Hey there and welcome to the first edition of the Yap Zone, our biweekly (that means every other week) newsletter where COYOTE gives you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into our newsroom and a rundown of our team's picks for music, food, events, and lots more. This newsletter is an exclusive offering and extra dose of gratitude for our Yapper- and Howler-tier members. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy!
Ace Ty is the whiz kid behind COYOTE Media Collective’s branding, and our zany, lovable mascot. Tasked with building out the COYOTE cinematic universe, Ace put on her designer uniform (really big shorts, tiny top) and whipped up a goofy, friendly freak that she describes as an “acquired taste.” Patrons of Oakland’s Tallboy, a martini bar, will see Ty’s fingerprints (her special, cheeked-up olive characters) all over its branding.
So how did this creative soul come to be, what inspires her design aesthetic, and what hopes does she have for COYOTE? Read on for a Q&A with Ace Ty: artist and curious, playful worldbuilder.
