I would have never imagined I’d end up here, albeit a little later than most. When I first entered college, I chose graphic design on a whim which took me all the way to San José State. In 2022, I was technically ready to graduate with a BA, but I still had a little sliver of hope I would get into the BFA program. Two years later, I am once again ready to graduate, except this time I am more confident, and I have 17 people beside me ready to create a ripple in this world together.
