SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN (SCAD)
I was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, but most of my life before attending SCAD was spent pursuing a career in classical ballet. After dancing professionally for one year post high school, I decided to pursue college in New York City. Before landing in the design industry, I studied art history and fashion marketing. Then, two years into college, I discovered the world of graphic design, and I knew I had to return to Savannah to study at SCAD. Since studying at SCAD, I have been honored to receive awards from Communication Arts and GDUSA for my school projects. After graduation, I will be moving to New York City to join Temple St. Clair Fine Jewelry as their Design and Brand Coordinator.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
I feel most inspired when I’m working in collaborative environments, with other creative individuals who truly care about the power of good design.
WHAT ARE YOU READING, LISTENING TO, WATCHING (BOOKS, MOVIES, TV, SOCIAL MEDIA, MUSIC)?
I’m currently reading Twyla Tharp’s The Creative Habit, and my favorite music group that I’m listening to right now is Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.
DO YOU CURRENTLY, OR DO YOU PLAN TO, DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES?
I currently design for charities in my Savannah community and hope to continue doing so — I believe we have an obligation as designers to use our talents to make the world a better place.
DO YOU FEEL THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS PREPARED YOU TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND A JOB?
SCAD has prepared me very well to search for a job that best fits my interests, and to succeed in that job by offering a wide variety of skills that would benefit any team I join in the future.
