Highlights
"My time as a graphic design major has taught me to be more confident in myself, in my abilities, and persevering in the face of obstacles. Everybody struggles with something. I wish more than anything that I could tell my former self, ‘Breathe. It’s going to be OK.’ But as weird as it is, I’m thankful for the challenges I faced, and I think I’m the person I am today because of them.”
