About
My name is Amber—just like it sounds /ˈambər/. The mountains make me feel secure, ice cream is my weakness, and designing is my happy place. I was born and raised in St. George, Utah. I am currently attending Utah State University in Logan, UT where I am pursuing a degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Multimedia.
I first learned about graphic design when I was in the seventh grade and you could say that it was love at first sight. And the more I learned about graphic design, the more I felt like it was a part of me, that it made sense, that it was the direction that I wanted to take in my life. I am extremely passionate about design. Saul Bass once said, "Design is thinking made visual." I love the challenge of visualizing thoughts, concepts, and information in a unique and functional way. I am always looking for new things to learn, new problems to solve, new ways to push myself to be better. |
