I join the design program to improve my skills and build on what I have self-taught myself. I’ve been teaching myself how to design since Myspace era and have been flying by seat most of my career. Even though I taken myself far on my own I’m hoping to learn how to better work with teams and better ways to build more cohesive concepts and ideas. I aspire to be able to flexible both in freelance work and more corporate style work.
I have years of experience in brand marketing, social marketing, and more and want to add in graphic design so that one day I can become a creative director. I have a strong passion for building a brand from the bottom up and helping small to big business to appear more authentic to their audience. It really an obsession and something I feel like I’m good at. I’ve created project such as my own brand called Housepartysea (www.housepartysea.live) that supports underground dance music.
Even with my experience, I am not sure where I really want to land in my career and feel pretty open to trying different things and rising up to the challenge. But if I had to choose the area low information to high but broad audience lending. So I think stuff such as book layouts, website content, and mobile content. Things that I feel are visually can simply but comforting.
A lot of my influences come from skate magazines, weird advertisements, and streetwear fashion culture. Mixing the ideas of breaking rules with balance and seeing where that takes me.
