Timeline
Sylvia Harris (born 1953 in Richmond, Virginia, died July 24, 2011) was an African-American graphic designer and design strategist. She has been considered a pioneer in the field of social impact design.
Harris died on July 24, 2011. She had collapsed three days prior while attending a meeting in Washington, D.C. and was taken to George Washington University Hospital, where she later died due to heart problems.
Sylvia Harris was hired as an independent project leader to develop a design for communication with patients more effectively for NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Medical Center. This project emerged because of a 2001 NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia survey that showed majority of first-time patients get lost trying to get to their appointment. The reason patients got lost was because of poor signs, lack of funding for feature for the building, etc. For Harris to plan the project she had to go through five steps. The first step was assessment which was getting to the cause of the problem, the second step was management which was making sure the building is under control. The third step was coming up with a strategy to fix the problems, the next step was the designs, and the last step was implementation which was making negotiations for the designs to be approved.
In 1994, she left Two Twelve to form Sylvia Harris LLC. She focused on using design to solve problems for civic agencies, universities, and hospitals. Harris was behind the design of the United States Census Bureau. Her experience helped her encourage those who were underrepresented citizens to participate. In 2014 she was awarded the American Institute of Graphic Arts medal.
After graduating she co-founded Two Twelve Associates with David Gibson and Juanita Dugdale in 1980. During this time she did design work for Citibank.
Harris was born in Richmond, Virginia during 1953. As she grew she experienced racism and attended a desegregated high school. Harris has stated that she remembers her mother shouting from her car at the Ku Klux Klan while they were displaying on the street. Her father coached women's sports, and her mother was an art teacher and artist. After graduating high school Harris went on to attend Virginia Commonwealth University, where she graduated with a BFA in communication art and design in 1975. She eventually married her husband Gary Singer, with whom she had one daughter, Thai.
