“Art and design can tell stories in ways that can be understood universally. Sometimes words are not enough. Art and design is something that can reach and move people, communicate ideas and thoughts in new ways

Being a mentor at IndigeDesignLabs is important because its supporting the next generation of digital designers and creative professionals. Compared with my everyday work, IndigeDesign Labs allows me to collaborate and share ideas with our program’s mentors and young people. I hope to mentor young people in both design and communications.”
