..::HELLO::..

My name is Ivonne Calderon I'm a Visual Communication Design major. I have worked with youth for most of my job career. I am currently working in an elementary school, with my own class of 1st graders for an after school program. I am inspired by my class, their imagination is so extensive and colorful. Besides design, I enjoy writing. I am often inspired by music, my surroundings, and own experiences.

My influences range from older work of famous people to work I find in the streets. I am an avid street art documenter. Through some of those works I am inspired to do something similar in my own work. I always find inspiration around me, as a graphic designer I am often found with scenarios of problems in which I start to navigate for solutions.

My vision academically is to continue learning in any way possible. Even at work I learn from my students. Learning continues in unexpected places, sometimes the most valuable lessons are learned there. Professionally I am not looking to take over with a big company or be super famous. I have some projects in mind to work on, which I hope can lead me to bigger opportunities. I would like to go to more local events to network with people.
