EDUCATION

Programs learned: Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, InVision, Axure.

● Not only did I learn hard skills, I learned soft skills that will help me become an outstanding teammate and resource for any organization. I know how to build a narrative and facilitate an empathic approach, not just deliver wireframes. Guilford College -B.A. in Visual Arts

● Classically trained in scale drawing, portraiture, drafting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics and graphic design.

● I learned how to research, analyze and present material that was often abstract and complex. My writing, public speaking and presentation skills were sharpened and used often throughout my undergraduate career.

● In my senior year, I completed a year-long thesis program that culminated in a collaborative art show, where I displayed original work and sold most of the collection during the event.
