Alumni Presentations

Lynne Bowman Cravens

Lynne talked about how when you start making art, it’s good to create about the subjects that you are familiar with. I’m really interested in Lynne’s combination of photography with alternative processes. Her work is unique from a lot of the things I’ve seen before, and it made me think a lot about the different methods I could use to make art. I loved how in depth she went into her processes, especially because I feel like I could now experiment and recreate something similar myself.

Miranda Petrosky

Miranda talked a lot about the process of working in a design field. This made me think a lot about the practical applications of a graphic design degree. Miranda was really helpful because she gave us a lot of examples of places in Austin that do design work. I hadn’t ever seen a lot of the places she mentioned and now I want to look into them for possible internships and career options. She also emphasized the importance of doing work for fun, and always exercising your design muscles.

Dustin Meyer

To be completely honest, I thought Dustin Meyer was full of himself and kind of annoying, but I think that’s an important skill to hone in order to make it in the world of wedding photography.

Design Internships

This second round of alumni presentations opened my eyes to the possibilities for work in Austin. I came to St. Edward’s largely because of the amazing creative scene, but I managed to forget about that in all the excitement of my first semester here. I am so ready to take full advantage of all that Austin has to offer, including the amazing opportunities for internships…
