Profile Interview: Catherine Currie

Catherine Currie is currently 21 years old, a senior graphic designer in MIAD (Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design) and like creating and designing. Catherine grew up in Illinois and moved to Milwaukee once she started MIAD because of good scholarships. At first, she wasn't unsure if going to art school was right for her until freshmen year in digital 2D class, she got into Adobe Photoshops and Illustrator. She really enjoyed and very passionate about the world of communication designs because she can do a lot on whatever subject she is designing but also following a boundary rule of design that she is following and playing with that rule. Throughout in MIAD, she likes to post her typography works, advertisements, and packaging designs that she made on her social medias. 

In her senior thesis, she plans on creating an subscription app that help with clothing design and help making shopping more attractive. This app focuses on the audience's personal styles and help them shop specific clothing that would be best fit for them. Currently that is the idea for the thesis but she planned on changing in the future. After graduation or in the future, she planned on focusing more on advertisement work but she wants to stay away from big corporation first. At the moment, she does a lot of internships that involved with designing whatever the commissioners' needs. 

Throughout outside of MIAD, Catherine likes read books or hangout out with her friends and family, such as playing cards or board games with them, watching at the movies, or boat drifting. "That's pretty much what I do, but I always think about designing every time, but I occasionally read sometimes."
