The program at UWA was for Marketing with a side of Graphic Design and it just wasn’t for me, so I switched schools (after several obstacles and a lot of soul searching) and entered into a path that would earn me a Graphic Design degree… something I’ve wanted for, oh, 30 years now lol.

You’ll find different things under the ASU Fun menu as the years progress 🙂
