Lipstick on a...middle school?

The NWHSU campus used to be the Bloomington middle school until we purchased it in 1983. It's hard to imagine it never got a few enhancements. To be fair, there was a large scale addition put on the school, but never any enhancements to the old parts. I have been slowly working on this and I've had the opportunity to design some cool enhancements to parts of our campus, but with a generous gift from a donor, I wasm able to completely trick out our foyer outside of the auditroium. We have a long way to go to get the whole school looking up-to-date and modern, but this is a major push in the right direction.

As a Designer, I am able to use my skills in many areas; print, digital, signage, web, and interior design/enviromental graphics. I approach it like any other project; sit with the stake holders, listen and ask questions. After given the budget, I research and then start concepting. I use my experience, skills and research to design within the budget. It's not rocket science! But, yeah, it's not something everyone can do. As my boss put me incharge of this remodel, I'll also rely on my organizational, budgeting and communication skills to get us to the finish line. I'm good at this and I enjoy it. I can't wait until January '25 when we cut the ribbon!
