Alexis Gortemaker

Hey everyone, I’m Alexis :) What a crazy, incredible, entirely worthwhile ride this program has been. Not only have I had the opportunity and resources to explore and strengthen my design work, but also the chance to develop strong friendships, learn new skills, and perfect the exact ratio of caffeine/minimum sleep needed to remain functioning (life skill). I thoroughly enjoy most every aspect of design, but this year has really helped solidify my love for the branding/marketing process. Developing a meaningful visual personality from nothing more than an idea and watching it come to life just doesn’t get old! Beyond excited to be in a line of work I love, and look forward to seeing where this industry takes my classmates and I!
