I graduated in May 2019 with a Bachelor’s in Advertising and a Minor in Graphic Design. After graduating, I interned with MAIP in RAPP Dallas, an advertising agency that focuses on Consumer Relationship Management. Shortly after, I got extended a full-time offer with them as a Junior Art Director and moved to Dallas for a year. In August 2020, I applied to an Art Director position in NYC within the agency and got the job! I’ve enjoyed my agency journey with amazing peers and I’m grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients such as McDonald’s, PNC Bank, and PayPal.

Moreover, I  also work as a freelancer under the alias @powerdesigns. Here, I explore my creativity on self-initiated projects and work with different clients to help them create their branding and marketing materials. Looking back, I believe the Graphic Design program at FIU gave me the tools to navigate the agency world and land my first job right after college. From polishing my presentation skills, juggling deadlines, and multiple projects, to creating a well-designed portfolio.

PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING: INTERIOR DESIGNER VS. INTERIOR DECORATOR

“Interior design is the art and science of understanding people’s behavior to create functional spaces within a building.

Decoration is the furnishing or adorning of a space with fashionable or beautiful things.

IN SHORT, INTERIOR DESIGNERS MAY DECORATE, BUT DECORATORS DO NOT DESIGN.”
