Noble Cumming

Noble Cumming is an industry-seasoned designer and team leader, specializing in design and innovation for some of the world’s largest brands. Focused on advancing graphic design and sustainability while creating happy clients in the process. He holds a BFA in Communication Design from Pratt Institute and a MA in Sustainable Design from MCAD (2013). Noble is based in New York.

Before starting MCAD’s MA in Sustainable Design program, my sense of sustainability was that it needed to happen but that it was an esoteric pursuit. I have come to discover that not only is it 100% pragmatic, but the world is waiting for us as trained professionals to usher in this new era of thinking.

Thesis title: Integrating Sustainability into the Graphic Design Process: A proposal for a sustainable graphic design toolkit
