IN HIS OWN WORDS:
“We spend all this time teaching the tenets of graphic design and visual communications and very little on how to get hired as a designer… I want to see these talented students placed in positions that best suit their passions and capabilities, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to provide them the tools to achieve that goal.”
