“It’s through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.” -Paula Scher
As a senior at Kutztown University I fell in love with this quote. As an art director now this still stands true. My education, my experience and an even bigger part, my mistakes have developed me to become the art director I am today. I believe there is beauty in every aspect that comes in designing an amazing project.
A mixture of my passion for Advertising and Graphic Design, mixed with my skills of concepting, time management, strong work ethic, proficiency in Adobe programs, and more have given me the tools to grow as a designer, and, as a person.
Along with design experiences my life has provided me with unique social skills. I grew up in a military family and therefore relocated often, which made me adapt and embrace new cultures and environments often. Living in Italy for a couple years and constantly traveling my entire life, I have had the pleasure of meeting people from different cultures, social classes, and ethnicities that gave me the ability to be easily adaptable in almost every situation and environment, and has kept me extremely open minded. One of my other passions is traveling. I have had the opportunity to experience and travel to a variety of places including Italy, London, Egypt and a decent amount of the United States. These opportunities kept me cultured, and humbled in every way.
I strive for being able to take the opportunities life throws at me and excited for what it has to offer. In the end I wouldn't trade anything I have been given. Life may get difficult, but ultimately 90% of life is just showing up, you have to figure out the other 10%.
