The other day an email came into my inbox from a freshman at the local university. They had questions about my studies, my career, and why I wanted to be a desire. It is about passion. Telling this student reminded me about why I wanted to be where I am.
How do you spend your time? Email, Adobe Creative Suite, Doodling, managing printers, preparing files for flash, web, and print, and dealing with clients and publications.
A typical day? Checking my email and take care of projects based on urgency and deadlines.
How did you choose this career? When
I first entered school I was undecided and took basic courses required for
every student, but I had taken an intro to design course and it changed my
college career completely. In this class I created books, digital patterns and
illustrations, and I was able to realize that I had been doing "graphic
design" activities my whole life. I used to layout, illustrate, and work
with color on my Christmas Letter to Santa, I developed my own websites in high
school, and I always carried a sketch book with me. It is more than a career; I
am passionate about what I do.
What are your favorite thing to do? I find I am always looking for the new project
or a challenge, something that helps me stretch my creative muscles. When I
have a project I haven't worked on before or a new client, that creates
something for me to learn. You are never done learning in this career, because
it is person-based. People likes, dislikes and how they interact with brands or
products changes with internet, social media, and personal growth. I like
working on logos because it can combine some of my favorite skills: iconography
and typography. I am able to put a lot of work and creativity behind each logo.
