About Art + Design: throughout my
life, I've debated what career to choose
(graphic design, photographer, illustrator, fashion
designer). In the Art + Design program at
Butler, I am able to incorporate all of my artistic and design
abilities. Basically, the "plus" means I never have to put
limitations on my ideas.
Favorite spot on campus: Hinkle
Fieldhouse. The history, the design, and the atmosphere
really appeals to me.
Favorite portfolio piece (so
far): Last fall, I went to the 99.7 DJX Birthday Bash, a
concert put together by a Louisville radio station. While the
band, We the Kings, was performing, I managed to get a picture that
seemed almost, for lack of a better word, destined for me to
take. As Travis Clark, the lead vocalist, raised his hands in
the air to make the band's signature "W," I noticed that he had
"love" written on one of his palms. Fortunately I was able to
capture this moment.
The weirdest thing that ever
happened to me: I wouldn't exactly call myself a bad driver, but I
have been in one car accident, which happens to be one of the
weirdest things that has ever happened to me. Somehow, by
backing up at 2 mph, I managed to get the front bumper of my
vehicle caught on an elevated sidewalk, which caused my entire
front bumper to fall off. Of course, I freaked out, and
someone called the police from their house. When they arrived
to the scene, my emotions made them think that it was a multiple
car accident. In the end, the bumper was easily replaced, and
the situation ended up being one of those stories I can now laugh
about.
Favorite internship experience
(so far): Jasper Innovative
Solutions, where I helped compile their online product catalog. I
photographed their inventory. While I was there, my bosses
would introduce me to any co-workers who came in from the company's
other locations, and those people would always tell me how much
they appreciate that I was working on the catalog. Being told
how much they appreciated my work really made the position worth
the effort.
Favorite vegetable: I've always been a fan of broccoli
but typically only if it has cheese or ranch dip added to
it.
