Education 

Champlain College, Burlington, VT, US, Bachelors, Graphic Design

Champlain College centers it's studies around integrative learning. Because it is not an art school the liberal arts curriculum is very much apart of students experience. Although the arts is not the only part of the degree, the classes specific to the design major begin Freshman year. We extensively learn color theory, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and are familiarized with Dreamweaver, After Effects, and Flash.
