Skills
As a senior advertising major at Ball State University I have studied the advertising and communications world diligently. The major demands a comprehensive understanding of brand management, research methods, strategy development and the creative process. My classroom experience has been reinforced through my role in the student chapter of the American Advertising Federation and my internship at Doe-Anderson. My time at Doe-Anderson allowed me to help create content for clients such as Humana, Knob Creek, Maker's Mark, Central Bank and Optima Batteries.
The Digital Corps is a group of professionally certified student media software experts at Ball State. Through my work with the Digital Corps I have learned to be a digital media tradesman. I can easily manage and create digital content ranging from sound and video to print and photography. As a Master rank in the Digital Corps it is my duty to provide technical support for computer labs, train students and faculty about software through courses and personalized support, and work on projects for clients.
In summer of 2008 I formed Stephens Photography + Design. Through my business I do wedding, portrait, and event photography as well as print and web design. I have been designing and developing websites for over 3 years. As the business owner and only employee I manage all aspects of business and have learned valuable lessons from experience rather than textbooks.
