With a background in graphic design and journalism, Anika Huda initially began working at FPI in 2020 as a graphic designer on contract. Since then, Anika has been promoted to the role of communications manager. As the communications manager, she helps steer FPI’s visual narrative and works on efforts surrounding FPI’s messaging strategy. She designs all of FPI’s visual materials — including digital and print, edits FPI’s publications, manages the website, and engages in outreach to partners.

Born and raised in South Florida, Anika is dedicated to intersecting her design and communication skills with policy education, helping inform Floridians of the current policy landscape, making FPI’s research and analysis accessible to a wider audience and creating tangible and conscious shifts in communities across the state that help to advance policies and budgets that improve the quality of life for all Floridians. 

Anika received her bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts Studies from the University of Florida. Outside of FPI, she is an accomplished freelance graphic designer and multidisciplinary artist, and she has also designed a published book earlier this year.

Anika enjoys going down Wikipedia rabbitholes, trying different cuisines, walking outside, and interacting with her cat.
