We sat down for a chat along with her to study extra about what she loves about making artwork, why she acquired concerned in animal welfare, and the way she mixed these two passions to make an affect in her group.
Cat City: You are an artist for a dwelling, and have labored at loads of large title firms in a artistic capability. Have you ever all the time appreciated making artwork? What made you wish to pursue a profession in visible design?
Olivia: Sure! I’ve all the time cherished artwork. I began artwork college in third grade as a result of I appreciated to doodle, and attended all by way of highschool in China and after I moved to Houston once I was 18. All the things was so new to me, and my highschool had no Chinese language college students, so I knew that I needed to study English to make pals. Fortunately, my English as a Second Language class had individuals from everywhere in the world, and I made pals with them, however speaking in a brand new language was nonetheless laborious.
I had no thought what profession to purpose for, however I cherished artwork, so I figured I’d research on the College of Houston’s graphic design program. It was a contented accident that I picked the best main. I study higher with visuals than with writing, and since English isn’t my first language, it is also simpler to precise myself by way of illustration!
