She holds an MFA in Graphic Design from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts, 2023) and a BFA in Printmaking from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (2015).

• BFA: Printmaking, MIAD (2015)
• MFA: Graphic Design, CalArts (2023)

Her research and artistic practice integrate graphic design, printmaking, and writing to explore themes of utopianism, speculative futures, and the commodification of zines within art book fairs. Her publications and interviews frequently address the intersection of DIY culture, critical theory, and alternative publishing models. While not explicitly stated, her roles across institutions suggest a focus on design education and hands-on printmaking workshops.

Gage’s recent and historical bibliography includes essays and short fiction that bridge graphic design literacy, mythology, and experimental narratives. She has conducted numerous workshops and lectures on Risograph techniques, digital media, and contemporary design practices at institutions like CalArts, Tufts University, and the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design.
