I would like to further my skills and experience as a designer. I feel that more exposure to other art and design concepts will further my abilities and make me more diverse. I would like to use my skills and creativity in a productive environment to help achieve the goals of the company, as well as my own personal goals. I can only go as far as can take myself, and I know that I can make it to where I want to go.
