COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN
Those who know Audrey Stemen know when she does something she goes big or goes home. In middle school and high school, she explored a different artistic medium, year after year, just for fun. It’s no surprise, then, that her curiosity grew bigger, leading her to CCAD, where she spent a semester as an Illustration major before changing her focus to Advertising & Graphic Design. Audrey has utilized her skills as President of the Ad/Graph Student Collective, received awards for various projects, and continues to drive her creative spirit forward with more passion projects on the side. After graduating, Audrey plans to work in the world of design and production for live-action and animation within tv and movies. She aspires, one day, to become an art or creative director, and intends to give the journey 110 percent of her efforts until she gets there.
