Position(s): Illustrator, 2022 Managing Design Editor
Section(s): Design
Semesters at The Daily: 5
I’m not a writer, so I’ll keep this brief.
I joined The Daily at the height of the pandemic, during the fall of my sophomore year. I was looking for something new to do and wanted an artistic outlet – I loved to draw and it had been hard finding a place to fit in on campus. I wasn’t too sure what to expect, and I would’ve never expected to be leaving as an editor my senior year.
At first, I started simply, drawing on paper and having a ton of fun. Slowly, I started drawing in Adobe Illustrator and Procreate. It was challenging and not always efficient, but I learned a lot.

To all of the designers, I have loved seeing your amazing work. You have been an inspiration.
For everyone at The Daily who has helped shape my experience, thank you.
