Farewell Blog Post

December 18, 2023 By Princeton Tran

Farewell!

As the semester comes to a close, so does my time as an STA here with LAITS. I’m sad to leave, but excited for what the future holds!

Over the last couple months, I had a fulfilling and meaningful time. This is the first time I’ve gotten to work in an environment that’s so supportive and creative. I really felt a sense of belonging among my peers. My favorite part about working at LAITS was the weekly meetings where I could learn more about my peers and their personal projects and goals. One of my goals going into the job was to connect with more people and develop my creative skills, and I certainly was able to achieve this. I didn’t anticipate to be leaving so soon, but I’m happy for the time that I was able to spend as an STA.

One of my favorite projects was the logo designs for the ACME Widget Co., where I was able to flex my creative muscles and hone skills that I have been wanting to work on, such as logo design and illustration. I’m very proud of the results and the process that lead me to them!

As I grow and develop in my career, I will always remember my time at LAITS fondly. I’m so glad I was able to learn and grow with my teammates. Special thanks to De’sha, Leilani, Lorena, and Carrie, as well as everyone else who was so helpful and welcoming! Thank you for sharing your perspectives with me and helping me do my best.

All The Best,

Princeton

KB Research – Background in Illustrator

Staff Guidance: De’sha & Stacy

This week I was assigned a quick project to slightly change the pattern for a banner on Nahid Siamdoust’s website, and additionally also pull out the logo and isolate it on a 512×512 image. Princeton gave me some tips for copy/pasting the pattern before rotation into place which ended up working out really well (thanks Princeton)!
