About Programs

After completing CCSF’s program, I was accepted to attend the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)—Printing Management Program in New York. Though it worked better for me to go to San Francisco State University, they had a program in Information Architecture and Design that better matched my professional interests and aspirations; California College of the Arts, graphic design and typography courses (online portfolio does not include extensive hard-copy portfolios).
