About my education

I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2016 with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing, and minors in Psychology, Sociology, as well as a custom minor in Design Technology. My Design Technology minor educated me on design principles through project-based assignments and trained me in a range of techniques employed by different design schools of thought (i.e. Studio Art, HCI/d, Animation, Photography Editing, Visual Design, Video Production, Infographic Design, and more).
