Franklin Terrace, Virginia Commonwealth University
It was 17 years ago this month when I began my VCU career. To say it's been quite the run would be an understatement. I am thankful for all the years of opportunities to use my skills to elevate the design of text, shape, and color to make a difference while creating a visual voice
Two weeks ago, I started my next VCU chapter by joining a small team of communication professionals supporting the Senior Vice President's office for their communication design needs. In my role as Senior Creative Lead, I'm thrilled about overseeing art direction, brand management, and photography for their team and the university.
Whenever I walk this urban campus along Franklin Street, it always takes me back to my VCUarts freshman year and the fall of 1983. As a young man, I was in absolute awe of this amazing place. And even now, with four VCU diplomas hanging on my office wall, and as I begin my 18th year as a staff member… I still very much am.
