Why did you choose your capstone?

This project will be used to improve upon the ski rental process for the beginning skier. It's the perfect opporunity for me to combine my love of action sports with graphic design.

What was your favorite DAAP moment?

Having the opportunity to get to spend time with and get to know both of the graphic design sections. 

What was your favorite co-op moment?

Going on a pèlerinage with my Salomon coworkers. Basically a "bonding session" that included a day hike in the French Alps, a night in a chalet, homemade fondu, and plenty of wine.

What is one of your hidden talents?

Balancing a fork on my nose and a raptor call.

If you could be an animal, what would it be?

A giant bunny. Hehe =)

What is your favorite thing/things about Cincinnati?

Kings Island's blue ice cream.

Why did you choose your capstone?

Recently I have been deeply involved in a children's home called Casa Hogar Mamá Paulita down in Mexico. Through this experience, I have witnessed the donation process and how it works. While the home was grateful for the money received, it rarely covered all of the expenses needed for each child. Figuring out a new system of donations will not only help this children's home, but could be used as a model for other organizations.

What is your favorite DAAP moment?

Getting bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches every morning... it brightened up my days

What was your favorite co-op moment?

I was able to be a part of a photoshoot at one of my coops, which was an awesome experience.

What is one of your hidden talents?

I can speak in spanish... it's kind of my first language 

If you could be an animal, what would it be?

Cheetah for sure

What is your favorite thing/things about Cincinnati?

There is always something to do (regardless of what some other people say) :P

Favorite source of Caffeine:

Coffee... unhealthy amounts of coffee

What advice would you give underclassman/aspiring designer? What advice have you received? 

Don't procrastinate, listen to feedback, have confidence, don't be afraid to ask questions... and when you can, sleep.

What is your go-to karaoke song?

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
