About Josh Ryan Higgins

I'm a freelance designer and Communication Design senior at Texas State University-San Marcos. My first experience with design came through designing projects in highschool for Texas Technology Student Association contests from 2001-2005. These projects included 2D and 3D design and animation for which I earned 3 "Best in State" awards and several other top placements. Since my first design class in 2001 my passion for design has been constant.

Education

My higer education began at University of Houston where I was a chairperson for the Student Programs Board and helped plan and market events on campus events such as concerts and movies. A year later I transferred to Texas State University-San Marcos where I am currently a Communication Design major and am on track to graduate in December of this year.

Work Experience

My first freelance design job came in 2003 in the form of a logo and gig flyers for a highschool garage rock band. In February 2009 I recieved an internship at Compass Point Media a local San Marcos, TX webdesign company where I did design and HTML/CSS coding. In August 2009 I was hired as a part-time designer by the marketing department of Texas State University-San Marcos Campus Recreation and am currently working there designing everything and anything for campus recreation programs.
