    • What drew me toward design is being an artist but wanting a way to integrate my artist personality to my type A personality. I feel like those perfectly intertwine into graphic design.

    • What drew me toward design was actually my starting point with animation. Throughout the program, I’ve learned so much and learned to love design.

    • One word to describe my work: unserious. My favorite thing about the design program was getting to work with all these amazing people.
  • Maison Fletcher

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    • One word to describe my work: eclectic. My favorite thing about the design program is the sense of camaraderie and community.

    • One of my most memorable moments in the program came when I was in a crisis about my work/interest. I was thinking of dropping my minor and Professor Nabi told me “nobody gives a f*** about a marketing minor” and that stuck with me.

    • A memorable moment from my time in the program was during the summer when I took a packaging design class with Professor Scaff and fell in love with branding design.
