Hand-lettering reading "make it pop" in loose black brush script, cropped at the edge.Handwritten to-do list with logo and branding guidelines crossed out, animation and social media remaining.Hand-lettered brush script reading "for tomorrow" with a sweeping underline stroke.

chaos

isn’t a flaw;

it’s where creativity

gets its energy.

As students navigate the program, they encounter the never ending chaos that comes with creativity and expression.

Getting to the finish line does not mean a smooth race,

and the process is never as refined as the final product. Each portfolio is the outcome of personal effort, emotion and passion for design. Everyone has chaos in their process.
