I love being a designer for many reasons. It combines my interests, strengths, and passions. I’ve always been drawn to activities that allow me to exercise my creativity. It’s more than just the aesthetics that attracts me. It’s developing the strategies and discovering the insights that lead to a solution to a given problem. It’s the challenge of transforming ideas into visuals that resonate with the intended audience. It’s the joy in helping clients discover and communicate their story that I find satisfying.I did not set out to become a designer, rather I realized that I have always been a designer. I have a passion for creating. I try to develop solutions to problems because I want to make something better, easier, or to help someone. I like collecting and reviewing research to gain an understanding in order to make informed choices. I originally majored in Psychology because I was interested in understanding the motivations behind people’s behavior. I declared a second major in Mass Communications because of my desire to inform, to share ideas, and knowledge clearly and effectively. These are the traits and skills of a designer, and they are what make me, me.In discovering design, I discovered myself.
