Hello! My name is Celina, and I grew up on Vancouver Island. Once I graduated from high school, I moved to Vancouver and wanted to experience city living, which was great. During my time in the city, I worked for an airline and completed a Fashion Business and Creative Arts diploma. Once I met my partner, I made my way back to island and we’ve been in Victoria ever since with our St Bernard dog Lenny.
Today I’m enrolled in the Communication of Design Diploma program and am super excited to get started on this journey! It has been quite the journey to figure out what career path I wanted to take, and I’ve done a lot of self-reflection to get to where I am. In 2020, I completed the BEST program that Camosun College offers which stands for Building Employment Success for Tomorrow. This program was super beneficial for me and allowed me the time and tools to decide what my next career path was going to be. You look at your personal values, your skills, and what industries that are hiring. Long story short, I’m ready to start learning about graphic design!
This year I want to focus on really learning the skills and programs required to make it in this industry and deep dive into that world. I want to do well and learn from my instructors! My goal once I’ve graduated, is to work for myself as a freelance graphic designer. I want to live a happy and fulfilling with my partner Richard and our dog Lenny!
