I'll be taking a year off to freelance and work as an illustrator before looking into an MBA in my field.

Various directed studies and focus groups created by myself and my professors have been a ton of fun and have allowed me to get a real sense of community within my major, connecting with upper and lower classmen.

Work ethic is the biggest, and to never get discouraged. Every step forward is a valuable one.

In art, you'll only be taken as seriously as your work demands. Find what sparks your inspiration and passion and don't stop harvesting it.

Bruce Maddocks, more than anyone, has always been a true friend and sage advisor. I can honestly say that without his direction, reason, and camaraderie, I wouldn't be where I am today.
