When did graphic/web design first enter your mind as a viable career for you?

  • Marie Poulin

    I started out as a fine artist, and graphic designed seemed like a legitimate way to make a living as an artist. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I didn't even really understand what graphic design was until I got into the program at York/Sheridan!

    It wasn't until working at Thinkhouse (we did mostly print work initially) that I realized there was a need for sexy web work. My boss let me take the reigns on it, so I just started learning as much as I could about web, waking up at all hours of the night with bits of code in my head that I had to write down. More and more the work we took on was digital, and I loved it.

    Web design became my passion, and lucky for me, it's something a lot (if not most) of people and businesses need!
