Advice
What advice do you have for potential CW participants? Current CW participants?
College Works Painting is hard work. Very hard. However if you stick with it, you will realize how strong you truly are.
What’s your best advice for someone interested in entering your career field?
My best advice would be to have experience with Adobe Creative Suite. Play around with it, watch videos and learn to teach yourself. Secondly, I would say, get at internship to figure out what you like about it, what works for you, and what you can learn before you are done with school so that you can be a best fit for the job you want.
What’s your favorite memory from CW?
I really enjoyed the kick off meeting about the company and what we would be doing. It was inspirational.
