The designer earned an MFA in design from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1946 and made history by being one of the first women at the school to receive this type of degree.⁠ ⁠ Her modernist textile designs played a key role in ushering in an entire movement to Michigan. The iconic designer's career spanned more than seven decades, and she was still working late into her 90s. In 2015, the Kresge Foundation named her its Eminent Artist.
