Inspiration
The versatility involved in branding a product, company, or service engages my interest in being a part of the creative community. I discovered the responsibility of projecting a respectable image for a company through my experience with branding as the head of my high school robotics team. I was in charge of creating an image for our team: something easily recognizable and attached with amiable character. During my time as captain, the team went from undistinguished to a familiar name among the community. My goal is to work for an established ad agency.
