“Design is intelligence made visible”

Stephen Bayley

  • Growing up in a small Pennsylvania town, I spent much of my childhood immersed in dreams and creativity. Inspired by graphic novels and comic book television shows, I found my passion for design at an early age. Encouraged by my parents, I pursued this path with determination, knowing from the start that it was where I belonged.

    My passion in Graphic Design began at Western Montgomery Career and Technology Center. This technical center was a three year program, providing general industry skills and professional practices. During my time here, I studied Commercial Art, WMTC's graphic design course. I learned valuable information throughout my time here, including an certification in OSHA 10 General Industry, and Commercial Arts NOCTI. Through my dedication in Graphic Design, I furthered my education at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania studying Communication Design.
