You are curious about the idea behind the work and interested in designing beyond the page, learning how an identity moves across presentations, screens, signage, environments, digital touchpoints, and the larger attendee experience. You ask questions, contribute ideas, welcome feedback, and are eager to learn from more experienced creatives.
