Bachelor of Graphic Design, Class of 2018
I believe in the power of strategic, beautiful design and user-centered experiences, whether that manifests itself as anything from a visual identity system to a digital user interface. My goal as a designer is to make things and experiences that people truly enjoy. Beautiful things with a solid purpose get me excited about life.
If you were asked to explain your design process in 5-steps, what would those 5 steps be?
1. Write and sketch until there are about 43 pieces of copy paper piled on my desk and I have an idea. 2. Research. A lot. 3. Realize I spent too much time in research and ideation and scramble to make a lot of stuff. 4. Fail at least once. 5. Hopefully come out with something I'm proud of... and if not, I definitely learned from it!
Design trend prediction for 2019?
Well, 2017 was the year of tasteful gradients. 2018 is perhaps the year of tasteful drop shadows. Could 2019 be the year of tasteful textured backgrounds?
Which Pantone color of the year is the best?
2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity. No question.
