I had initially started my collegiate career at Western Michigan University, but after my sophomore year I was offered a job working as a graphic designer in the Metro-Detroit area. I saw the job as an opportunity to gain valuable industry experience while finishing my degree so that I could hopefully land a job of out state with solid agency, so I made the move back home and decided to finish out my degree at Wayne State. It was those couple of years in Detroit that helped me foster a deep appreciation for the city, so when graduation came I changed my focus to searching for jobs in-state and around the Detroit area. It took some time to find a job since I graduated at the peak of the recession, but patience and persistence helped get me to where I am today: Western Creative Inc.
As part of the production team at WCi, I work primarily in the print field creating graphics use in marketing and retail for various local, national and international companies. I enjoy what I do because the world of print and design can be applied to so many different aspects of our everyday lives. One day I could be working to help rebrand a local business, while the next I could be designing a piece of packaging that will be sold in stores nationwide.
