CCS was everything I have

dreamed it up to be.

Deprogram was an opportunity

like no other. I was selected

to travel to the Netherlands

and learn from Dutch graphic

design and their culture. The

projects placed less focus on

the finished artifact and more

on the critical evolution of

what informs the design.

I have always enjoyed being a

part of extracurricular ac

tivities. These clubs brought

me closer to my peers, as

well as studio professionals.

I enjoy making a fool of

myself and these groups have

the ability to bring out more

and more qualities.

AIGA means a lot to me

because I gained a lot of

friends and great experienc

es. As well as being able to

connect with the chapter in

Detroit.

The trips were a plus too, as

we got to see a lot of stu

dios and get a better view of

the graphic design world out

side of school and Michigan.

These lectures helped me

achieve a better sense of

their design and insight on

what these designers have gone

through in their career.

I like listening to people

talk about their success as a

designer and gain inspiration.

As my first full-time job out

of college I gained more of

a drive to design. I also

found the ability to speak

out more, show my creativi

ty to its full potential as

well as communicate my ideas

with a team.

Not many people can say they

worked for a professional

baseball team. It is definite

ly a conversation starter. I

learned a lot from working at

Comerica Park. I gained more

persistence and courage. To

talk to design professionals

takes a lot of that.

Traveling around the US gave

me the opportunity to connect

with alumni and meet with

studio professionals. This

was a great experience, and

the food was pretty great

too!

Dutch design has a huge

influence on me and the

studios in the Netherlands

displayed unique qualities

that wouldn't normally be

seen in the US. I loved it

there, I even have family

that is from there.

Over the past four years at

CCS I was able to improve on

and receive these skills. The

program promoted a multi-dis

ciplinary practice that

required different skills.
