Identity
Kat Reiser
Applying for any job or pitching any client should not be done without a clear strategy and understanding of how a designer and their works relates to their audience. In this course students first go on a journey of better understanding who they are and where they want to be. Then the work of presenting that identity to the world begins.
This course aims to help students build not only the tools you need to get the work they want, but guides students through understanding and reflection before they present themselves to the world. The overall goal of this course is to help students create a cohesive portfolio from 3 of existing projects and a clear resume.
