JADA DAVIS

Jada Davis is a Senior at The Ohio State University pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication and a minor in Art History. As someone who has spent most of her childhood living in Columbus, being a student at Ohio State University is an accomplishment she is extremely proud of. Growing up in Columbus, creativity has always been a core part of who she is. With a passion for creativity, design has become an integral part of her identity. She is intrigued by design because she loves how it is constantly shifting and evolving. There is always new software to learn and a new technique to try. This has allowed her to be both ambitious and fearless in her approach towards design. After she graduates, she aspires to be a practicing graphic designer who uses visual communication to solve problems and tell stories. She hopes to use her acquired knowledge in design to address social issues and advocate for change. Moving forward, her intention is to continue growing and evolving as a designer.
I became interested in design during my Sophomore year of High School. I took a class that completely changed the way I viewed creativity and design. In this course, I was given the necessary tools, resources, and support to explore this interest. My experience with this course forced me to push myself outside of my comfort zone and truly take agency of my future desires. I was happy to know that I could pursue a profession that would allow me to be creative while also solving problems and evoking emotions.
One of my biggest creative influences is Lorna Simpson, who is considered a pioneer of conceptual photography. She is a remarkable woman who is good at photography, drawing, painting, and even sculpting. I respect how she is not afraid to push herself outside of her comfort zone and try new things.
