“Milwaukee would not be Milwaukee without the Third Ward,” said Manuja Waldia ’14 (Communication Design) while discussing her winning design for a map of Milwaukee. “The inspiration came from the Third Ward and the awesome art scene that it envelopes.”
Waldia’s creativity and love of the Third Ward, where MIAD is located, led her to recently place first in Mapping MKE, a competition for Milwaukee Magazine that asked participants to create maps of Milwaukee that are not necessarily geographical, yet depict elements that make Milwaukee special.
