Hello, I'm Drew
My Journey
I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Art and Technology this June at the University of Oregon. During my time there, I participated in UO Rising and created an art piece for the Gordon Hotel. Additionally, I started a screen printing business in my sophomore year, which helped me develop skills in project management, client relations, problem-solving, and design. My motivation, ability to connect with others, and talent for organizing projects were essential to my achievements. I am eager to apply my design skills and creativity to develop accessible experiences for all users.
