Hi everyone! Your professor loves to design anything especially manipulated photos, product packaging, and customized jewelry. I retired as a high school graphic design teacher in New Mexico in 2010 and moved to Humble, TX, where I live with my kids and granddaughter. I have 16+ years in this field and have owned 4 businesses in addition to my teaching career. I love teaching college level courses especially online and will help each of you to be successful as you prepare for a career. My education includes a BFA in graphic design from Eastern New Mexico University, a MAEd in adult education and distance learning from University of Phoenix, and a MS in Educational Media Design & Technology from Full Sail University. Currently, I am working on my doctorate in Educational Leadership and Management at Capella University. In my spare time, when not designing something, I love to scrapbook, paint, and take photographs of just about everything. Looking forward to reading your bios!
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Polly Long and I've lived in Texas for 13 years and love it! I graduated high school in 2009 and started college right after. I have changed my major 6 times because I had no idea what I wanted to do. It took me 3 years to fianlly decide! My dad is a pilot and my mother has lived in 3 European countries so I love traveling! I've been to Hawaii, Belize, Honduras, Mexico, Germany, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, and Italy. This summer I will be traveling to Greece and back to Germany. I am hoping to graduate earlier than expected because I am getting married in April 2013. I'm currently thinking of transferring to a university but do not know which one to choose one. I would really love to find one with a great graphic design program.

DeleteHey, my name is Aaron Castro. I was born in Houston Texas and I've lived here all my life. From an early age I was always interested in Art, But, never really knew much about it or what to do with it. Growing up in the "H" I was always around "Art". I'am a big fan of the Urban Street Art and Guerilla Advertising(or Graffiti if you will) and most of its subsidies. Alot of inspiration is just outside our doors, all you have to do is find it. o_0

ReplyDeleteHi everyone, My name is Victoria Johnson. I am 20 years old and will be 21 on February 10th! I graduated from Atascocita High School in 2009 and started attending Lone star Kingwood College the year after that. I kept changing my major and finally found my way to the Visual Communications program. I am looking into graphic design, but still keeping an open mind. I might end up changing it to interior design. I still have not made up my mind completely. This all got started from when i was in high school, I took my first art class. Ever since then I fell in love with art and design type things. I feel as if my world changed and I started to see the world differently. I hope to learn a lot this semester to improve my design skills, and one day find an awesome job doing what I love.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. My name is Ronny and I’m currently in my second semester for the graphic design certificate program. Once I finish with that I will go on to do the web design certificate. I’m excited to be back at school after a few years of finishing college my first time around. I consider myself a beginner in the aspects of graphic design but so far I like it and graphic design is all over the place in the real world so it is good knowledge to have under your belt.

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Daniela but I better prefer to be called Ela. I'm from Mexico but I've been living in Houston since 2004. I'm a single mom of a 7 yrs. old boy, and I'm a full time worker. I first went back at school to learn some English. After finished ESL classes my goal changed and now I'm doing my best to get the Graphic Design Certificate. I'm a little quiet and shy because my english is not as good as I'd like it to be but I'll make a huge effort to change that.

ReplyDeleteHello. My name is Fernanda Rangel. I'm 19 years old. I graduated in 2010 from Humble High School and currently attend Lonestar College - Kingwood. This is my fourth semester. I want to get my associates in graphic design and photography afterwards. I like editing pictures, videos and several other stuff. I'd like to learn new editing skills as much as I can. I like to draw and paint. Although, I only paint cartoons. It's still fun, though! Also, I designed my best friend's boyfriend's business card. Let me tell you, I'm quite proud of that. Hopefully, I will do many of those and other stuff, too!
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Hector, I'm also going for a graphics design major. I love music, hanging with friends, and meeting new peeps. I've used photoshop ever since 7th grade, back when it was photoshop 7 and I've loved it ever since. I know my way around Flash, Illustrator and Fireworks. Also used Dreamweaver, attempted to learn Adobe After Effects once but my computer couldn't handle it unfortunately. I've lived in Houston my whole life, graduated from Atascocita High School in '09. Only attended Lonestar for a year, took a year off and now I'm glad to be back. I work at a small restaurant called Italianos at the moment and hopefully if all goes well I'll be able to transfer to an university in the next year or so to be able to continue down the Graphic Arts Design career path. :D
