Question

Was there a spark that kindled your interest before you ever seriously considered being a Graphic Designer?

Answer

Bridget Braun

I was always really fond of drawing and painting in my younger years. I was always making something with my hands. My dad was very artistic too and always encouraged me to be creative. In high school I knew I wanted to pursue an artistic career but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I didn't even know what Graphic Design was until about grade 11 when a former student came in to tell us about her career in Graphic Design. I knew from that day, that's what I wanted to do.

Answer

Bridget Braun

Getting to do something I love doing everyday, some clients may be a pain, but there's always that one project that makes you happy to be doing what you're doing. I love to be creative and visual communication is really important. I like the feeling that I'm helping my client build their business or whatever they have with the work I create for them.
