I like art and drawing, and I knew the Visual Design & Imaging program would allow me to work creatively. In this program, I have developed my skills with Adobe Photoshop and have been able to expand what I can do creatively. I want to be a graphic designer when I graduate high school, and the Adobe Photoshop certification that I have already earned will help me as I go on to college.
