Brianna Weber - Class of 2018
"Before working at BluePrint, I hadn't had much graphic design related experience and although it was being introduced in some of my classes, I hadn't gotten a feel for what the field would look like. BluePrint gave me a chance to operate along side other graphic design students in a real-life setting of working with clients on various design projects for campus organizations and have a better understanding of the printing process. Looking back at my time working there, my designs progressively improved and I learned many design skills that I wouldn't have otherwise, and still utilize today."

"Looking back BluePrint is still one of my favorite parts of my college experience. I learned so much that you simply can't pick up in a class room. Some of the projects from my time with blueprint are still used in my portfolio. They give it the extra touch of color and creative energy BluePrint helps foster."

Brent Chester - Class of 2017
"Working at BluePrint opens you up to experiences you cannot get in the classroom. It provided me with the unique opportunity to work with clients that have an investment in my school and needed a little help in making their ideas speak. The design process is a lot of fun, I learn new things with every project and at the end of the day I got to see my work in use."
Current Employer: The Direnger Research Group
Position: Project support specialist
Justin Carlson - Class of 2020
"I liked working at BluePrint because I could always ask my other co-workers for their feedback on designs. This helped me improve drastically, since I was constantly receiving so much help and opinions. Working at BluePrint also helped me build my portfolio, (I have like five things I made at BP in my portfolio) and it is a valuable line on a resum茅. I would 100% recommend BluePrint to any graphic design student looking to improve. "
