Emily is currently a graphic designer intern for the St. Louis Blues, Enterprise Center, and Stifel Theatre along with some freelance!

“There’s a constant push for peer critiques/feedback in the DM program. The group critiques along with professor feedback we’re great for challenging me, which overall made me a better designer and played a big part in how I got to where I am today.”
-
“I’ve learned that speaking about our thought processes, why we chose to do things a certain way, and how we got to the final product is an important skill especially freelancing. Communication is so important with clients and how you sell yourself and your services.”
-
“One piece of advice I would give is internships. I regret not doing more, but internships give the experience that simply can’t be taught in the classroom! Internships can be great for figuring out the difference of a personal hobby interests and career interests.”
