Why did you choose the MSD program?  

I chose ASU’s MSD program, primarily because I just couldn’t stay away from school. I thrive in the academic environment, surrounded by the stimulating intellectual thought, continual innovation and possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration. ASU’s research-based program seemed to provide an interesting extension to my undergraduate studies in graphic design. The faculty and administrators are of a high caliber and a great source of encouragement and inspiration.

What is the best aspect of the MSD program?  

I enjoy learning about the process behind the creativity. The interaction with students from different disciplines has also broadened my design perspective.
