As a college student, I was a stranger to the Sioux Falls design community, and I didn’t have the best understanding of advertising/design agency culture. In my internship, I was taken in by powerful creatives, and my eyes became hungry for good design, a force I knew existed, but a power I needed to develop. I soon realized that designers had different skillsets and I was anxious to understand my own. Since then, I graduated from SDSU and began working as a designer in Sioux Falls. Over the last couple of years in the professional world, I learned that I am versatile. I love all mediums and being able to cross skillsets is one of my greatest design-oriented joys. I returned to Lemonly as a visual designer a few months ago, and I came back with a better understanding of my skills. I may not fit into one specialty of design, but the projects Lemonly has given me so far have really accommodated my multimedia skillset. Since I started back on this team, I’ve been a photographer, cinematographer, video editor, illustrator, animator, and snapchatter. I’ve done anything from producing a video series in which my boss [answers anyone’s questions](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GRC7XjGzX8&list=PLqJxggIaAWbf-XOG8hV49BtK-2cu5Z10M) to designing an [infographic](https://www.lemonly.com/work/making-a-murderer-process-infographic) on the documentary “Making a Murderer.” Each week is a little different with my project variety, which is ideal for me. It feels good to participate in almost every aspect of design working on a wide range of projects. Take a look at some of my projects here so far: ![making a murderer](https://d2xoo2expjpog9.cloudfront.net/generalUploads/Blog/01_Making-A-Murderer_800px.jpg?mode=fit&pos=center-center&w=55&c=a29eec1a&v=38bd9cc96b79a03075db8252e688a0b771bd0488f0ac0ec7902e03be193a371d) This was an internal infographic project. We capitalized on the popularity of the show by creating a storyline that depicts the possibility of Avery getting pardoned, while also explaining the U.S. appeals process.

Most of the content consists of something I documented in the office. I can’t resist this light. ![Michael levitating a lemon with an intense expression of focus and his hands in the air](https://d2xoo2expjpog9.cloudfront.net/generalUploads/Blog/8_Michael_levitating-lemon.jpg?mode=fit&pos=center-center&w=55&c=88d05f4c&v=0e7d614ba0e82a8fdf7b3c9c72fdea4d622854a3686d8001d0745e01dd22139a) Yeah, I'm magic. ![office door timelapse of day to night](https://www.lemonly.com/general-uploads/Blog/9_Lemonly_Door_short.gif) I needed to test the camera battery and card.
