Artist/Thesis Statement
The realization that the work I loved and the causes I was passionate about could be combined in a professional occupation completely reshaped my approach to my education, my future career goals, and even my perception of myself. When I started college as a graphic design student I felt torn between two halves of myself. On one hand, I was extremely passionate about design, but on the other, I had always felt drawn to philanthropic work. Before college, my understanding of both service-driven occupations and careers in design were very narrow – and in my mind I couldn’t have both.
It wasn’t until my third year of college that I began recognizing that design has applications beyond retail and advertising. Fortune 500 companies need designers, but so do nonprofit organizations, philanthropic startups, and educational institutions. Finding the intersection of the work I enjoyed and the values I was was passionate about unified these motivations and provided me with a clarity and confidence in moving forward that I didn’t have previously.
