What are your areas of strength? My projects/skills that are my strongest are branding/re-branding, advertising materials, and creating and compiling briefs and reports.
Benefits of studying online:  The best part about studying online is the freedom to living your life and studying when it is most convenient. The ability to have a full-time job, travel, and then still schedule when you can sit down and focus on your work is priceless.
Best thing about Sessions College: The best thing about Sessions College is the staff! From the beginning admissions process through to program completion, the instructors and advisors are there for you no matter what. You are never on your own and you are 100% supported throughout your entire program.
Who made a difference? My favorite instructor was Kristen Becker. She always took the time.
Creative and/or  professional goals after graduation: My dream is to have my own business where I can focus on branding strategy. I would love to work as part of a team and continue learning as much as possible.
“Kristy uses a great balance of research and creative inspiration to come up with truly unique and fitting and highly original concepts for the design challenges in the courses.
