a little about me
hi there, my name is regan! i’m a recent graduate of northern michigan university, receiving a bachelors of science in art and design with a concentration in graphic design. i also minored in public relations to gain a better understanding of how to capture audiences through my designs.
music, art, and culture is the main inspiration for every part of my process, even if the prompt isn’t related. going to concerts to enjoy the atmosphere, hear peoples’ stories, and discover new artists always brings me back to my creative side.
with my skills, it would be a dream come true to work in the music industry in any capacity. whether it be in merchandise design, marketing, or management, i want to be able to give back to the industry that has made me the person i am today.
