When White people ask what they should say to black people show them this video. The answer is simple. Keep your eye on this White girl in the front who uses her privilege to prevent violence. Be that girl. Raise that girl.

a little shameless self-promotion here, but check out the website i designed (via @squarespace) for my friend's new clean beauty shop! and if you're in raleigh, definitely go check Trellis Beauty out! https://t.co/OGvsxuGuAP

another of my favorite #GRD141 assignments was finding examples of rhythm in advertising from 1750-1960. this list of 1920's graphic design is full of gems https://t.co/I7CcRuYe9t

@floessophies aw, thank you! i'm sure yours was great! it really is crazy how much more confident i feel in my design skills after just one semester.

Looking back to my first #GRD141 assignment, a Self-Portrait Collage... still one of my favorite pieces I've created this semester.

@illumineartwork same! color adds so much life, although i've been trying to pay a bit more attention to layout & shape lately.

seeing an exhibition at the @whitneymuseum of Stuart Davis' work back in the summer of 2016 inspired me to pursue graphic design seriously & changed the way i thought of design vs. art. what made you decide to pursue graphic design? #GRD141 https://t.co/UEbPghXW4C

@sutara_lauren @WTCCGDA i would LOVE to turn running my own graphic design studio into a full-time thing, but realistically i think it will take a while to get there. in the mean time.... gonna keep the side hustle going :)
