THE MODERN COLLEGE OF DESIGN
Hey! I’m Micah Hermiller, a second-year student at The Modern College of Design. In my early childhood, my family moved overseas to Egypt. Having lived the majority of my childhood and younger teenage years in Africa, I have a deep appreciation for the experiences of different cultures. I’ve always been creatively minded, so the fact that I get to design for a living is just incredible. I’m passionate about 3D design, and my time in design school has made me realize how valuable that skill is to the industry. Lately, I’ve been very interested in motorsport design and found a passion for the sport of racing in general. I’m also passionate about music, and over the years I’ve taught myself guitar, bass, and piano. I love what I do, and I plan to be creating for the rest of my life.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
All forms of art and creation inspire me, but music and design are where I draw the most inspiration.
WHAT AREA OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN OR SPECIALIZE IN?
I love every area of design. I hope to do everything.
WHAT IS ONE THING THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DID NOT EXPECT?
The importance of networking and knowing the right people.
WHAT ARE YOU READING/LISTENING TO/WATCHING?
I don’t watch a lot of shows or movies, but I listen to a lot of music. Bands like Geese, The Strokes, and The Voidz are my favorites.
DO YOU CURRENTLY, OR DO YOU PLAN TO, DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES?
I certainly hope to dedicate some of my time and talent to the causes important to me in the future.
DO YOU FEEL THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS PREPARED YOU TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND A JOB?
Yes, I am confident that The Modern will equip me with all the necessary tools to be successful in the industry.
