Jackson Matthews Email & Phone Number

I am a senior Graphic Communication student with a minor in Brand Communication at Clemson University. Currently, I am building my portfolio with class projects and actively adding to my skill sets. Through my experiences at school and outside of school, I am learning and progressively honing my skills.I have always been passionate about art in general, and when I was 14, I began creating social media graphics, using an Adobe free trial, for small YouTubers I watched. Eventually, I convinced my mom to get the Adobe student plan, and I began learning about typography, logo creation, and social media graphics. When I was 15, I created a website using the limited HTML and CSS knowledge I had from Code Academy, where I would upload my designs and sell t-shirts and stickers for a brand I created called "Accidents Happen." Around my freshman year of high school, I started an Instagram account for my school's athletics and began posting highlight edits I would record at the games and uploading schedules/upcoming game announcements. I quickly gained a decent following from people at my school and parents. By my senior year of high school, I knew I wanted to go to college for Graphic Communications, so I applied to Clemson. I am passionate about anything creative. I listen to a wide variety of music, from punk rock to oldies from the 1920s. I love playing my guitar, thrifting, shoe collecting, golfing, and hiking in my downtime.One thing I've learned through life is that if you want something, you have to work for it, and it's not easy, but it's ALWAYS possible.
