KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY
As a designer, my inspiration comes from the finer things in life; overpriced everyday luxuries. My work is an effort to make basic items and ideas appear grander and more desirable, similar to what big brand names do with the simplest of products. My more recent projects explore the use of artificial intelligence programs to imitate high end product photography for the purpose of advertising and marketing. I believe that all you need is a bold image, a splash of color, with minimal text, and you can sell anything.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
Watching people around me grow is one of the greatest experiences I have had as a designer. It inspires me to continue to do better.
WHAT AREA OR AREAS OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN OR SPECIALIZE IN?
I plan to specialize in photography as well as advertising and marketing.
WHAT IS ONE THING THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DID NOT EXPECT?
Design school has taught me the importance of being able to collaborate with others. Different perspectives produces even greater results.
DO YOU CURRENTLY, OR DO YOU PLAN TO, DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES?
I have not planned to design for charities or causes. However, if the opportunity presented itself, I would graciously accept.
DO YOU FEEL THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS PREPARED YOU TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND A JOB?
I believe Design School has prepared me for finding jobs, especially when it comes to valuing my own work.
