CREATE TEXAS

From Marketing Intern to Studio Member

"Where creativity, collaboration, and community shaped my growth as both an artist and advertising professional."

My Journey

During my senior year at the University of Texas at Arlington, I joined Create Texas as a Marketing & Design Intern. Working in a collaborative creative environment allowed me to apply what I was learning in advertising to real projects while working alongside local artists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.

​

After graduating with my Bachelor's degree in Advertising, I was honored to continue my journey as a Studio Member. Today, I continue creating original artwork, participating in exhibitions, contributing to community events, and exploring new ways to connect creativity with marketing and visual storytelling.

Create Texas became more than a creative workspace. It gave me the opportunity to apply my education in advertising within a collaborative artistic environment, helping me grow as both a visual storyteller and creative professional. The experience strengthened my appreciation for community-driven art and continues to influence the way I approach design, marketing, and creative problem-solving.
