My experience as a Design Management Student at the University of North Texas
As a passionate creative with a strong foundation in art and design, the Interdisciplinary Art and Design Studies program at UNT was the perfect fit. It gave me the opportunity to explore a variety of creative disciplines including graphic design, interior design, and digital art, while focusing on the Design Management path. Paired with minors in Marketing and Management, my education provided a well-rounded blend of creative and strategic business skills. This portfolio features a selection of my favorite projects from courses like Digital Communication for Art and Creative Entrepreneurship and Digital Tools and Technologies for Creative Practice.
My experience as a Graphic Design Intern at United Way of Denton County
As the sole graphic design intern, I collaborated closely with the Director of Marketing and Communications to execute a variety of design tasks, relying heavily on the Adobe Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. This real-world application of Adobe tools has significantly advanced my technical skills in ways that academic projects couldn't. Balancing multiple design projects alongside full-time coursework and part-time work strengthened my time management and organizational abilities. I am thankful for the opportunities to grow that my internship provided me.
My experience as a Graphic Design Intern at White Box Roastery
My internship is currently ongoing with White Box Roastery. So far, I have learned the value of a strong marketing team. Getting to collaborate with my fellow interns as well as superiors has given me a new outlook on graphic design projects. This role has allowed for a plethora of creative freedom, pushing me to my full potential for designs. So far I have not only developed my skills within the Adobe Suite, but also Canva and Procreate.
