Hi everyone!
I’ve been involved in Graphic Design, Art, and Printing (on-and-off) over the last 15 years in various roles, and took courses on Graphic and Digital Media Design back in 2010. During the last five I wound up reluctantly shifting careers Warehousing, Demolition and Labour jobs which have taken their toll on my body.
After my last injury at my previous warehousing job, I’ve decided that I want to pursue my passions again, and get myself into back into Graphic Design (and Web Development later on).
Currently, I’m in an employment program that will fund some schooling for micro-credentials and certifications while I work towards building a strong portfolio for myself.
I joined for two reasons specifically:
-
To immerse and involve myself in the field in and learn as much as I can from everyone, and to learn how to network better to ultimately find employment as a Graphic or Web Designer.
-
Informational Interviews.
The employment program I’m in requires me to interview Graphic Designers who have professional experience in the field before funding gets approved for me to enroll in courses and get some complete certification.
I only need a minimum of 4, so any volunteers who would be willing to answer a few questions over PM/e-mail about your daily professional life, would be muchly appreciated!
I look forward to meeting everyone here, and I’m very excited to finally be getting myself on track to doing the things I love!
