COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN
Remember the typical ‘art kid,’ in your elementary school class, always eager to flex their skills and teach fellow students how to make their bubble letters 3D? That ‘art kid’ was Liz White, a designer and illustrator who, years later, never managed to shake the role as the creative in the room. And that’s for good reason. Now she is an interdisciplinary designer with skills in illustration, typography, photography, videography, animation, web design, and art direction. Liz has received multiple awards — including a National Student Addy Award — and hopes to land a position at an agency by the time she graduates with honors this May. Long-term, she plans on working as an art director, and eventually owning her own agency, where she can take on clients and projects for which she’s passionate.
