BACKGROUND
The traits of a great designer are as follows: one that is curious, has a passion for learning, and an understanding of the target audience. I have always been naturally curious and ask a lot of questions. My experience in B2B and non-profit marketing means my knowledge of markets and different buyer personas is wide. I can manage a heavy workload and easily communicate with anyone I work with. With skills in print, web, and social media design, I can adapt to what I am given by drawing on the knowledge of my degree and by seeking advice from more knowledgeable people.
WHY I LOVE GRAPHIC DESIGN
Graphic Design touches everyone’s lives whether they realize it or not.
The above quote is a conclusion I came to after I completed a few of my design classes and is why I love what I do. Powerful design can not only make a brand memorable but can make life easier. Wayfinding that is laid out effectively can help people find where they need to go. Print material that is made with a strong grid can make information easy to find. Packaging that jumps off the shelves can persuade a customer to pick it up. Social media ads can influence people in what they buy. And so much more. We are surrounded by so much design everyday that most people do not realize that graphic designers are responsible for deciding how most of the world around them looks.
