As a student, I studied communication through my art and design knowledge. It is imperative that creative designers are able to accurately and efficiently communicate the goals and plans for a project, both with coworkers and with clients. In order to be proficient at this skill, I was given the opportunity to take communication intensive courses that strengthened my skills in written, verbal, and auditory communication. I take it upon myself to continue to learn and adapt to the most relevant and productive ways to communicate the needs and wants in a project. This comprehensive design portfolio showcases many of the amazing skills I have learned throughout my career so far, including art, design, and communication techniques.
