Chloe Pedersen

Instilled with a love of the arts at an early age, San Diego native Chloe Pedersen began her artistic journey as an adolescent through dance, where she competed and was nationally ranked, and trained with choreography legends Mia Michaels and Wade Robson. Pedersen holds a BA in graphic design with an emphasis in art and design from Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU), where she developed her passion for design. While there, she became Vice President of the PLNU chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), and has been an active member of AIGA San Diego since 2011. A mere two and a half months after graduating college, her journey at Ranch & Coast Magazine began as Graphics Manager. In her years at Ranch & Coast, Pedersen has worked her way up, being promoted to Associate Art Director, and most recently, Art Director. Her love of simplicity, color, and layout composition has helped Ranch & Coast win multiple design awards from the San Diego Press Club. When Pedersen isn’t at the magazine, she loves spending time with family, enjoying live music with friends, staying active in nature, and hanging out with the newest addition to her family — a little black kitten named Bowie.
