Plan:
I will create a competitive portfolio that will blow the minds of my dream firms in the Salt Lake Valley area, such as Riser Media, Axis41, and Struck. I would like to start my own freelance business on the side primarily focusing on wedding invitations; as that is something I really enjoy. I will research many design firms and find the ones have qualities I am looking for and apply to all of them.Resume:

As a designer, I have always been drawn to work with others. I enjoy design because it allows me to develop meaningful and creative relationships. Teamwork is how I like to roll.
I aim to communicate my ideas in a variety of ways. I am comfortable working on the computer as well as creating hand-made pieces. There is something special about the smell of fresh ink and the feel of paper. I am a total nerd for the tangible I am quite interested in web and User Interface design also. It's rewarding in an entirely different way. I enjoy mixing creativity within the restrictions that interactive coding and development present. Where invisible design can easily move the user through an application seamlessly.
I love what I do. I love my life.
Contacted George Dansie, Art Director at Marketing By Design, Inc. He has some freelance jobs that I could get from him once I graduate. Basically he just gets multiple jobs from different clients and then distributes them to his designers. Whoever is good at each thing.
Week 2 // Oct 7 thru 13
Talked to my current boss at AppVantage about working there after I graduate. He said that he would love to have me work for them but it would only be part time.
I also talked to Debra Greenband from the Bridal Showcase Exhibitors. We talked about me having a booth at there event in January to promote my wedding invitation business. It would cost about $500. But if I got 5 clients out of it I could easily pay off the amount.
Week 3 // Oct 14 thru 20
Refined my resume and finished putting that together and got it signed off.
Artist Statement:
I remember designing my displays for the science fair, redesigning my vocabulary sheets, and making movie tickets for my family before having a movie night. I learned very young that there was a way to live where I could do all the things that I love.As a designer, I have always been drawn to work with others.
