Ruby Pierce Ruby Pierce is a senior graphic designer at Midwest Living and Dotdash Meredith Travel, serving both print and digital. She holds a B.F.A. in graphic design from Iowa State University (Go Cyclones!) and couldn't imagine herself in any other career. If she's not designing for fun or pointing out typefaces to her husband, she's probably enjoying a British architecture show and snuggling with her Border collie, Cooper.
