Why Am I Interested in Design ?

In general, I’ve always enjoyed coming up with creative solutions to common issues, so media design as I know it seemed like the natural conclusion to that goal. It has always been my experience that whenever you put in the work and show people that you’re passionate about the final product, people respond in kind.

Where I Started

In high-school, I was never sure what I wanted my career to be until I found design. I tried on hats that ranged all the way from programmer to a traditional artist. It wasn’t until my junior year I discovered the perfect gradient between those things. I started out in motion graphic design by making intro and transition graphics for my schools live morning news show that played in every class on Mondays. This is where I fell in love with both design and the feeling of contributing to a final product greater than the sum of its parts. This love grew organically and I learned how to apply the same problem solving skills in static graphics, website design, and UI Prototyping.
