Brand Teams

Full Sail gave me the opportunity to earn a Master's degree in Media design - to finesse the skills I'd developed at my job and turn them into something more than just a job. I learned the back-roads to getting to the production part of a project, such as legal documents, further research into what a brand is/was/should be, and how much consumer information can be useful in determining goals for a brand. The master's program stretched every part of my media career from copy writing, to defining experience, to design, to building, and ending with presenting the final solution - in a printed book. Print wasn't very common for me other than with the greeting cards at work, so creating a book was extra fun and challenging. I felt pretty good at the end of the program, as I had an extra piece to add to my portfolio, and I could tell I showed intense improvement in my job.

*Program was directed/managed online throughout the course of 12 months.
