THE MODERN COLLEGE OF DESIGN
Hi there! My name is Audrey Albers, and I’m currently a secondyear student. I grew up in a small town and always felt a draw to a bigger life in a bigger city. Art has been a prevalent part of my life, and I don’t know where I would be without it. I found my love for graphic design during my junior and senior years of high school and knew that was what I wanted to pursue. I’ve also always been very passionate about performing. Throughout my childhood, I loved theater and sports, and it constantly kept me busy. I am so excited to continue my career in design, and the endless opportunities that await me keep me motivated for my future. I have always loved inciting emotion with my creativity, and I hope to one day make a name for myself as a great package designer.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
What helps me gain inspiration is being grateful for the little things in life. Something as simple as a frosted glass window could expand my ideas in ways I would never expect. I love exploring new places and taking in everything they have to offer.
WHAT AREA OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN OR SPECIALIZE IN?
My dream is to work in the packaging industry, creating alcoholic beverage labels and brands. I’ve always been drawn to the fun and creative ways they’re designed.
WHAT IS ONE THING THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DID NOT EXPECT?
One thing design school taught me is so much design in the wild is not as good as non-creatives think it is.
WHO IS SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO IN YOUR FIELD? EITHER TODAY OR HISTORICALLY?
Two people in my field I look up to are Justin Morter and Matt Flick, two of the instructors I’ve had during my time at The Modern. Justin and Matt have taught me so much about being my authentic self in my design work.
