Emily Lemmer, School of Graphic Design 2008 MFA, has been working on and off with Nike over the past year as an independent contractor, assisting Nike designers with everything from concept brainstorming to the actual designing of posters for various campaigns, like the ones shown below. Just a few weeks ago, Lemmer was promoted to a full-time designer position, and couldn't be happier. "I'm so excited to finally have a job with benefits, stock options, 401K, access to the employee store - the whole bit - as a full Nike employee!" she said in an e-mail to us.
Lemmer credits her success with the education she received at the Academy. "My portfolio continues to impress when I go into interviews. I am so thankful for all of the guidance and everything I learned at AAU. I definitely would not be where I am now without that experience."
