A Fashionable Drop from the Sky

I recently did a self portrait for an article in my university’s publication- Carnegie Mellon Today.

This was a huge achievement for me! It may not seem like much to you, but I wasn’t always sure what I wanted to “be” in college (who is?!) or where I wanted to take myself. I knew I wanted to be in the design world, but wasn’t quite sure where I fit in- as I’m sure my professors were aware…!!! Throughout my four years at Carnegie Mellon Design, and the 3 years since, I feel like I’ve come a LONG way in figuring things out.

I’m not only more confident in my work, but I’ve found a style and voice that seems to be appreciated by people (you guys!). I’ve been given SO many opportunities in my life, and I can’t wait to see what’s in my future- but for now, I’ll enjoy the present!

Check out (and laugh) at the article below…

Thanks for recognizing my achievements Carnegie Mellon!
