Head Curator

Alana Williamson (she/her)

class of 2022

That human awkwardly staring into the distance and procrastinating beyond reason is none other than Blueprints Co-Head Curator, Alana Williamson (whoo and the crowd goes silent, save for a few coughs and underwhelmed sighs). She writes feelings! Alana's also a chorus-theatre-band kid and Teacher Assistant at Raleigh Little Theatre. Have a nice day!

Head Curator

Sarah Henry (she/her)

class of 2022

Sarah Henry is a senior at Athens Drive, a spectacular student who's always ready to give up! She loves studio arts and creative writing, though hardly indulges in either outside of schoolwork. However, when feeling productive, she enjoys pencil drawing, digital art, and canvas painting. Poetry is her favorite form of literature to write, while nonfiction is her preferred read. As a Head Curator of Blueprints, her gallant leadership in organization and poster making guided the Blueprints team to victory. Sarah xpresses approximate gratitude to everyone who’s supported our creative arts journal, and can’t wait to watch Athens Drive explore their passions!

Design Curator

Lisey Pillay (she/they)

They'd like to thank you for checking out the journal!

Design Curator

Nassibah Bedreddine (she/her)

class of 2023

Standing at a whopping 5 '11 inches, Nassibah Bedreddine is an aspiring (if not mediocre) writer. She loves any literature with “pretty” words, whether it be poetry, short stories, or long-winded essays. Her position as a member of the design team for Athens Blueprints has given her the false notion that she’s artistically gifted; needless to say, she is very, very wrong. Still, she’s having a blast!

Design Curator

Kalib Mangum (she/her)

Kalib enjoys writing, being with friends or family, listening to music, and loves food. She loves to write stories, poems of any genre, and especially romance because you can make it scary, sad, happy, and more. Kalib loves butterflies and animals. Her favorite butterfly is the monarch butterfly. She loves neon colors but also neutral colors. Kalib loves outlining things in a jet black Sharpie, and she's being doing this since she was little.

Ky Campbell (he/him)

He also enjoys photography and film making. He likes listening to art such as Glass Animals, J. Maya, Hozier, Toby Fox, and Bo Burnham.

Visual Arts Curator

Kayla Brown (she/her)

class of 2022

Kayla likes writing because it allows her to be creative. She likes how her imagination just goes wild whenever she's writing something.

Writing is a good way of getting out what she feels, and sometimes she doesn't want people to read it.
