I have natural designing skills and an eye for photography. I would like to increase my ability to market these gifts, and build a foundation for my next career move. I have started the search to find what skills I need to improve on and which direction may suit my talents. I am open to continuing with school, but could use a little mentoring on choosing the best course of action. Please consider taking fine arts courses and courses that teach about printing for a well-rounded background.

Because as the world changes so do design solutions and styles.
