My name is Sydney Young, I am currently an advertising major at the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University. In this portfolio, I have shared some of the best work I have done so far.
Being able to communicate visually has been something I have learned and is a passion of mine. I have enjoyed the work I have done and appreciate the effort and intent that goes into making each of these projects. Throughout my time in college, I have had the opportunity to find my passions, whether that is in the classroom with my professional passions, or outside the classroom fulfilling my passions. I am someone who cares deeply about people and loves to make connections and build relationships. I am also a hard worker, putting everything I have into the work I have done. I enjoy writing, creating, and being free to express my passions.
Thank you so much for taking a look at what I love doing and contact me if you have any comments or questions!
