Charlotte artist Makayla Binter is joining the Charlotte Is Creative team as our first communications manager. ⁣

⁣

It’s been a big month for Binter. She’s won two art competitions (one in Milwaukee), graduated with a master’s in urban design from UNC Charlotte and jumped onboard the Charlotte Is Creative “crazy train.”⁣

⁣

And, that’s just how she likes it. In fact, the description of her month above is too reductive; she has done way more than that in August. We just don’t have space to write it all down.⁣

WHAT’S NEXT?

Binter is always thinking about “what’s next?” Perfect evidence of that? She hasn’t even (officially) started at CIC … and she’s already got a notebook filled with incredible ideas of what she wants to do when she gets here.⁣

⁣

Charlotte Is Creative’s mission is to convene, connect and collaborate with the Queen City’s creative community – especially those creatives who need more resources to establish exciting and sustainable careers. 

Binter has already been doing that work for herself and those around her. She is an important voice in Charlotte. She has a drive to share her ideas through her work, while making the time to ensure others are heard, seen, supported and loved along with her.

Welcome aboard!
