Monica Sterchi-Lowman
Art Director
Monica joined Alaska Business in 2019; previously she owned a boutique design studio for ten years, working with organizations around the world. Through working with a broad spectrum of organizations, Monica found her passion for designing for organizations focused on education and community development.
A long-time supporter of the Anchorage community, Monica has served on several nonprofit boards and is a founding member of AIGA Alaska—the local chapter of the national professional association for design—where she served as President from 2018-2020. Monica is currently a member of the Society of Publication Designers—Shaping Visual Culture and on the board of the Alaska Women’s Hall of Fame.
When not designing, Monica enjoys being in the water and spending time with her family indoors. Her “new” favorite font is Gilbert (Type with Pride!) and her guilty pleasure is eating McDonald’s fries and soft-serve ice cream together.
Note: For those interested in submitting their work for publication, our current policy is to commission illustrations, art, and photography exclusively from Alaskan artists.
What happens when a city with fewer than 300 residents becomes a major freight and tourism hub, despite being accessible only by boat, plane, or a one-lane highway/railroad tunnel managed on a strict schedule?
If you’re in the City of Whittier, you get busy. The city has two separate transportation planning efforts underway, including a safety action plan under the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All initiative, which focuses on improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and emergency responders. The second is Whittier Moves, the city’s transportation master plan, which serves as the long-term roadmap for growth.
