11-22-2022 - Job Shadow
A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to shadow a graphic designer with a classmate. We shadowed Lehi, a graphic designer at Signarama. Lehi had experience in screen printing and designing skateboards before he started working for Signarama. He developed his skills on Adobe software by creating his own personal projects. From his wallet to his clothing, he customized nearly everything he owned. Lehi also improved his skills by trading services with companies he liked. He loves being a designer and would do it one million times over.
Signarama makes signs, car wraps, and marketing materials for companies all over the world. They are an international company with four locations in Utah. They are a full service sign company from concept to completion. We visited Lehi at the Sandy, Utah location.
This experience was very valuable to me. Lehi was very open and honest with his experience. It was clear to me that he wanted to give us good information and help us with our career goals. My goals have maybe changed a little bit since talking to him. He talked about how stressful it could be to work freelance because it is so competitive. It sounds stressful.
