DESIGNER STATEMENT: My name is Amanda Bartenes, and I’m a graphic design major with a minor in journalism. My academic journey started on a much different path, as I have two years of nursing school under my belt. I struggled to choose between the two. After taking some art courses, I realized I have a stronger passion for design. While at Mason, I have grown into a passionate designer. I have truly gained a great understanding of the design field and all that comes with it. From digital and print design, too branding, editorial, and UI/UX design. I always strive to create top-quality designs through visual storytelling and by putting my passion for design first. It’s bittersweet that my college experience is coming to an end, but I am so excited to see what the design world has in store for me!
