In My Own Words
Hi, I’m Grace Webster. I am currently a recent Clemson University graduate with a degree in Graphic Communications. Alongside a passionate focus in graphic design, my undergraduate work has equipped me with interests and technical abilities in all things printing, marketing, photography, video editing, package design, and UX design. I have completed several internships, freelancing gigs, and creative projects where I've been able to apply my design skills and brainstorm ideas to elevate the marketing strategies of various companies and organizations.
I believe that graphic design and creativity are everywhere we look in this world, especially in some of my favorite things, like fashion, music, and art. I am excited for what the future holds, and I am actively seeking job roles that enable me to infuse this creativity into my daily work.
