VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY (VCU)
I’m a senior graduating in December 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication: Creative Advertising. I’m currently a graphic design intern at Madison+Main advertising agency and have experience learning and working with The Martin Agency and VCU Rec Sports marketing team. My goal is to create things that make the world a happier place. When I was a little guppy, I thought the key to success was getting a high-demand job that makes money. That is not my story. My story is creating hundreds of logo mockups and losing sleep kerning type to fit just right. I love sleep. I love creating art more. It’s a journey that has led me to become a valuable asset to the world of creativity. Graphic design is an important part of my life as it has allowed me to touch hearts and make people laugh. If I’m not doing that, then I’m not successful.
