-: This place is so grown-up, I can't believe it
'cause I've been out of town for years
and years and years,
so to come back here and see how grown-up it is,
is really
amazing to me.
So, there was other
designers that would go to design schools
and
as going a state university,
I thought,
"Am I disqualifying myself from
"the field because I'm not going
"to a quote, unquote, design school?"
And I thought
that during the time because it was competitive,
and then when I graduated,
I got the jobs.
And so, I don't know if it's because
I was more well-rounded,
you know, I got a taste of business
and I wasn't just art.
So, I feel like you don't necessarily have
to go to an art institution
to be qualified as a professional designer.
I really think that I,
the needs were met here at a state university
and my career
is proof of that.
