Childhood passion turns into graphic design career
Communication students are free to pursue their passions as part of their careers.
Most small children go through a phase when they're more interested in the box a toy
came in than the actual toy. That fascination never went away for graphic design alumna
Lauren Osoba.
"Growing up, I would often save packaging or even leave products unopened to preserve
it," she says. "At Wichita State, I had an 'ah-ha' moment when I realized people do
this for a career."
Buoyed by her experience at 49ͼ, Osoba is now a successful graphic designer and illustrator,
specializing in branding and print design.
