WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?

Looking at vintage packaging, being in nature, exploring more tactile and analog methods of design, and my faith.

WHAT AREA OR AREAS OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN OR SPECIALIZE IN?

Ideally, I would love to work in package design or anything print media.

WHAT IS ONE THING THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DID NOT EXPECT?

It taught me how to self-teach and self-motivate. The field requires those qualities and design school stretched and further developed those qualities in me.

WHO IS SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO IN YOUR FIELD? EITHER TODAY OR HISTORICALLY?

Today, I am very inspired by and look up to Annie Atkins–her career and work excite me for less traditional avenues of Graphic Design.
