You graduated from BHS in 2004, then headed off to University of Cincinnati. Why UC? What was your major? Where did you do your co-ops?
I ended up at UC because 1) They had a very strong graphic design program that emphasized theory over tools. 2) Their cooperative education program. 3) It's a liberal arts school-I knew I liked art and design, but I have other interests too! 4) My brother David had moved there a couple years prior which helped alleviate some of the intimidation of moving away from home-it's always nice to know there is family nearby.
