MY STORY
I started my journey of design in High School when I became Media Leader. I would help work on the school newspapers and magazines, as well as do photography for sports matches and other events. I learned how to design a bit on Coral Draw with the supervision of my Media Teacher.

I had a small introduction to other design work; I did a little bit of pro bono work for family friends by designing logos for their businesses and helping my dad design petroleum jelly tub packaging.

High school inspired me to choose a creative degree, hence, BA in Media, Communication & Culture. After one introductory lecture presented by our lecturer - Ms. T. Rennie - in first year, I was convinced that I wanted to do design and create all the incredible things she had shown us.

I have learned so much and only intend on learning more. I want to be able to further explore across the boundaries of design in the future. I want to discover new ways of seeing and designing things. I want to grow my creative mind. I am already starting to draw illustrations for my poetry book I would like to publish one day. I want to be able to use my design skills in the future as a Public Relations officer, it’s a valuable extra skill to have.

Once we started using the programs, design became a bit more interesting… and a bit more challenging. However, through the frustrations and learning curves, I have been extremely proud of the designs that I have produced from second year until now.

By the second year of my degree, I could choose design as a subject. It was nothing like I expected. I just wanted to dive right in to all the technical design and using the computer programs, but we had to start with the basics.
