Hi everyone! Your friendly neighborhood Graphic Design Teacher here!

Design Rescue Studio at EDHS Thanks you!

I want to start with a huge thanks for everyone who has reached out to request a "Design Rescue". My students, ahem... Jr. Designers, have completed 16 design projects since October, and we have 21 projects currently in-progress, and two clients waiting patiently for a designer to become available.

---
As a spin-off of my Design Rescue program at EDHS, and as an alternative to in-class guest speakers, I've started a YouTube channel where I interview creative professionals about their career journeys. It's a great resource for anyone interested in a design career, or just interested in hearing the often overlooked backstories of creative professionals.
