Education

Bowling Greeen State University Bachelor's of Technology

April 2015 Visual Communication Technology, Marketing Minor

The Visual Communication Technology (VCT) program is a unique one. It is a hands on curriculum that teaches the basics of web development, print design, photography and videography, but puts its biggest emphasis on problem-solving. This education gave me a wonderful foundation to the four primary visual media technologies on their own as well as how to combine them for the most effective solution.
