I’m Connor. I am 21 years old and have always had a dream of making a name for myself. I wanted to make myself remembered in every place I went, and that is still a goal of mine.

I am and have always been an artistic person. I have been in music, taken thousands of photos, and drawn hundreds of stick figures. In high school, I took a photography and animation class. I excelled in both and was always looking for more to do in the classes. This is when I knew that I wanted to go into a form of digital media past high school.

Although I was certain about taking a path of creative media, I still applied to college undeclared. This wasn’t for long as I found out about the school’s BFA in Graphic Design program.

At the end of my senior year of high school, I auditioned for Alabama’s Million Dollar Band Front Ensemble, where I was one of four new members. My college experience has been heightened by the MDB and I would have regretted not auditioning. I have done so much growing as a person, leader, musician and a designer because of it, and wouldn’t change it for the world.

Choosing graphic design was also one of the best things I have ever done, and I feel like I am doing the right thing in life. Being able to solve visual problems sucessfully is one of the best feelings in the world and I love being able to see my finished designs.
