Jacqueline Casey trained at Massachusetts College of Art before working as a fashion illustrator and advertising, editorial, and interior designer. In 1955, she joined the Office of Publications (Design Services Office) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). "Casey's work acknowledges the influence of the Grid established by the post-war graphic design masters in Switzerland . . . [and] often uses strong elemental imagery, manipulated by letterforms" (RIT.edu). The MIT Black Students Union was formed in 1968, and celebrated their 50th year of advocacy and community outreach in 2018.
