Childhood passion turns into graphic design career

Graphic design 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.

Buoyed by her experience at WSU, Osoba is now a successful graphic designer and illustrator, specializing in branding and print design.
