Dear readers! This marks my very first blog post, and I’m thrilled to share the next chapter of my design journey with all of you. If you’ve been following my adventures so far, you know that I’m enrolled at John Abbott College, in the Graphic and Web Design program. But there’s a new twist in the tale – I need to apply to university!
The Educational Pursuit:
As I look to the future, I’ve set my sights on extending my stay in school and obtaining a formal education in design. Specifically, I’ve been eyeing fantastic programs: Computation Arts/Media Production at Concordia University and UX/UI Design at Carleton. These programs align perfectly with my aspirations of becoming a designer, and I can’t wait to dive into the world of academia to hone my skills.
The Road So Far:
Before enrolling in university, I had the opportunity to gain professional experience as an intern at Global Vision, a software company, where I was actively involved in the marketing department. The experience proved to be exceedingly valuable, surpassing my initial expectations.
Throughout my time there, I had the privilege of receiving training under the guidance of a talented graphic designer as well as an expert web developer. The opportunity to engage in a dual mentorship provided me with significant knowledge and understanding of the challenges that accompany design and web development.
This experience not only enhanced my technical skills but also allows me to walk into a professional workspace confidently. I have gained a glimpse of what to expect walking in and the rapidly evolving and dynamic environment within the design and software sector. My experience at Global Vision has provided me with valuable preparation for future goals and reinforced my determination to pursue a professional path in this field.
A New Beginning:
As I prepare for university, I’m particularly excited about the fresh experiences that await me. I see university as a platform for learning, networking, and personal growth. I’m eager to engage in academic studies that will deepen my design knowledge and expertise, all while interacting with like-minded individuals who share my passion.
The Stage Awaits:
Furthermore, my immediate goal is to secure a stage at the end of this semester. I believe that gaining hands-on experience is crucial to my design journey, and I’m eager to put my skills to the test in a new professional setting. This internship will not only provide me with practical experience but also potentially open doors to a part-time job opportunity for the summer.
So, my friends, as I set sail on this new chapter, I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride. My design journey is only starting, and I can’t wait to share each step of this adventure with you. Stay tuned for more updates and discoveries as I navigate the world of design, education, and, of course, the pursuit of an internship. Here’s to new beginnings and the exciting unknown! 🎓✨
