Full Sail students and recent graduates have routinely been named on Graphic Design USA’s annual Students to Watch list, and this year, two students from Art & Design programs made the cut. Kristapher Halsey (Graphic Design, 2025) and Ximena Morazan (Digital Arts & Design 2022, Media Design Master’s, 2026) were both named to this year’s list.

Halsey wears a white button-up shirt and glasses. Ximena Morazan stands outside and wears a black top and glasses.

The publication’s yearly list identifies top students and recent graduates in the design world who they expect to “shape the graphic design scene in years to come.” Kristapher’s multidisciplinary storytelling and Ximena’s versatile creative background earned them spots on this year’s list.

Graphic Design USA is a trade magazine that covers emerging trends, technology, and up-and-coming talent in the design world.
