Personal Statement — Brandon, MS
Innovation in my early years included science fair projects and illustration which led to my first recognition and awards. On the adventurous side, I am a wakeboarding, mountain biking, and swimming enthusiast. After three years at a state university and excelling in graphic design, I realized my aspiration is product design. My ambition is to dream, innovate and create designs that will add value to your life and mine. I work well in collaborative environments, and challenge myself continually.
