Describe the work you submitted for merits.

A combination of graphic design and illustration work featuring bright colors, self portraits, and a healthy love of typography!

Why did you decide to come to MCAD?

I decided to come to MCAD because I was looking for a graphic design experience that allowed me to pursue illustration at the same time. Through my graphic design major and focus in illustration, I have had the opportunity to combine my creative practices in a way other programs don't always offer.
