The result was keep. Pity the AfD didn't decided whether the medal alone conferred notability: these are important matters. But consensus, buoyed by the sourcing added by Tomsulcer, is to keep. Drmies (talk) 21:25, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure if she's notable (she may be somewhat well known and notable at her field) with my searches finding nothing particularly outstanding here, here, here and here. SwisterTwister  talk  06:20, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. She appears to be a department chair at SVA but that by itself is not enough for WP:PROF. But my opinion is weak because I'm not sure whether the AIGA Medal might be selective enough to confer notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:53, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. The AIGA Medal is automatic notability. It is the top award a designer can get, and is only given for lifetime achievement. --Theredproject (talk) 16:38, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep receiver of the most distinguished award (AIGA medal) in the field of graphic design and visual communication is notable. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 18:06, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The AIGA medal might be prestigious but 23 other individuals won the award in 2014 and we don't have articles on most of them. Liz  Read! Talk! 01:35, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * That is irrelevant. Articles are often created by individual who took the burden upon themselves. There are millions of notable people in the world who does not have article on Wikpedia and those that have it is by privilege. In fact Wikipedia only have articles on about 0.000001% of the total number of notable people in the world. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 05:42, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - 24 people were awarded an AIGA medal in 2014 alone. This is not an exclusive award and if that what others are hanging notability on, it is not enough.--Rpclod (talk) 20:35, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * 40 people were awarded an Oscar in April 2015, so that's an even less exclusive prize... Kraxler (talk) 18:16, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Prominent advertising creative talent compared with David Ogilvy and Bill Bernbach in this account here with much coverage in the NY Times, elsewhere, plus great nonprofit work. In-depth independent reliable sources include this one, this one, this one. Plus she won awards and has had notable achievements and positions in the nonprofit world.
