I am a student at the University of Texas. I’m in the middle of a major transfer into advertising. I’m looking for guidance as I try to break into the industry. While moving into the major later than some of my peers, I have a lot to bring to the table with a fresh creative outlook, and a drive to make myself moldable and ready for what gets put ahead of me. In my past I have worked in retail, food, and government. To say the least there's a range of things I’ve learned and built. My communicative abilities were integral and built in a range of different ways in these experiences, inviting and polite by my time in retail and food, more professional and respectful from my stint in government. In fact, the government let me build a great base for client work communicating with the office's director for major changes on their web and presentation material.In the future I want to work with my design skills and inevitably work with an agency with brands I respect. So in the meantime I am actively trying to hone my own skills and ready myself for this future. I am trying to expose myself to as much of the industry and get as good as an understanding of it as I get closer to it. I am looking for as many perspectives and pieces of advice as possible.
