Chris Columbres

From an early age I knew that I wanted to be in the creative field. I chose graphic design because I liked drawing so I thought design would’ve been more or less the same with just adding type to the mix. I was so wrong and getting into the BFA program introduced me to a whole new world that I could never have imagined. I used to be only inspired by my own passions like cartoons and video games, but my peers have broadened my views and inspire me beyond my personal interests and aesthetics. Knowing that there are an array of options I could do as a designer makes me so excited to be even more proficient in them in the future.
