Kathryn Bell

I am currently a Senior at Ferris State University, earning a BS in graphic design within the College of Business. I have built public relations, professional selling, and management courses into my system of design. The education I have received, ingrains design as both visual communication and strategy.

I give and take from my experiences because design is inevitably derived from personal exposure. I have participated in study abroad trips to France, Greece, Italy, and Turkey. Through these experiences, I’ve gained perceptive views of culture, functionality, and human interaction. Exposure like these—in addition to design professional lectures, conferences, and studio tours—have shaped the interpersonal skills I hold today.

I apply these perceptions to the design process, attaining the ability to visually and verbally communicate. Being subjected to a broad-based design curriculum, I have the knowledge and understanding to approach and implement a project in the most effective way possible. Personal interaction is a strength of mine, allowing me to observe, listen, understand, and communicate the needs of prospects.
