During her undergraduate study at North Carolina State University's College of Design, Mia was involved in several student organizations, including the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) student chapter and design honor society Tau Sigma Delta. As an active AIGA member, she was awarded the student AIGA scholarship for 2004-2005.
