Part 1: Alumni Presentations

• Alejandro Ura: SXSW Business Development

  • Alejandro talked about how he helped build campaigns and promotions as a business developer at SXSW. He also mentioned how he crafted video games or promos to engage with the audience. He talked about his passion for video games and how he built his skills of understanding video games, immersing yourself in your passion, and improving yourself always here at St. Ed’s.
  • My Thoughts: I thought his job was really cool and different and not a typical job you think of getting when growing up.

• Anthony M. Zubia: Art Director & Freelance Designer

  • Anthony talked about how he started his career and passion here at St. Ed’s. He mentioned how he first started by creating posters for student life. He then told us about his internship at TCF and how he was soon hired by the company as a creative director. And then he showed us his work and gave us advice on how to sell our work and sell our name.
  • My Thoughts: I really liked his presentation because being an art director is something I want to work for as a graphic designer.
