you don't have to choose between art and design.

education

Addeline graduated Columbus College of Art and Design in May 2023 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts, majoring in Graphic Design and Advertising and minoring in Business and Fine Arts. Every semester she was able to make it on the President's List, meaning she had a GPA above 3.4 each semester while taking the max amount of credit hours.

During her time at CCAD, Addeline fell in love with fine art just as much as she loved graphic design, as you can see in her work. Note the variety of media used in her work, a wide range of experimentation and playfulness is exhibited.

She learned very quickly that in order for her graphic design work to thrive, she needed to get her hands dirty every chance she could. You could find her in the labs, especially towards the end of her time at CCAD, learning about sculpture and metalworking/woodworking techniques. She was a sponge, absorbing everything she could.
