Student Voice

Britnee Sapp

“When I first went to MiraCosta, I didn’t know what graphic design was at all,” she said. “I was just taking general education classes here and there and working. But my aunt said, ‘You’ve always been so creative, and I want to see you expand your skills. You should take advantage of the different design courses they have there.’ I decided to try it out and the second I stepped into my first design class, Adobe Illustrator, I knew my future was set" explains Sapp.
