Liana Mestas is the Deputy Director at CoDesign Collaborative. She has a love for museums and prior to joining the team, spent nearly seven years fundraising for the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. Liana appreciates the ways in which museums, whether in-person or virtual, encourage and introduce people and communities to new and unique experiences––sometimes directly related to art and design, and sometimes simply art and design-adjacent.

Liana has a BFA in Photography from Lesley University College of Art and Design (née The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University) and currently lives in Providence, RI with her husband and hound, Prince.
