I joined the AIGA Arizona board less than three months after graduating from the School of Design Innovation at Arizona State University. Through interaction with the board, and programming around the valley, I was able to connect with other designers and find opportunities I wouldn’t have otherwise.

I feel constantly refreshed.

I’m engaged to the process and the product and because of AIGA they yield professional results.

Attending AIGA events, after taking a long break from AIGA, was an excellent wake-up call to the fact that I’d gotten lazy and my design/creativity skills had suffered. The moment I realized that, I felt inspired to change, and since then, I’ve been taking on freelance projects and attending more AIGA events, to boost my creativity. AIGA really helped remind me of the core design values I had forgotten over the years of working in a secluded box as an in-house designer. It was refreshing to attend AIGA events and see examples of great design. Even the student works from the local colleges were amazing. It just reminded me of what design should be, and that was sadly lost in my in-house job.

I always rely on the archives and news items to give me inspiration when I am feeling blocked.

The people who make up AIGA push our industry, and by sharing their talents with the rest of us, we will continue awesome design into the future.
