BFA 2008 Valedictorian Whitney Triggs Combines Artistry with New Media Skills

By the time Whitney Triggs started working towards her Web Design + New Media BFA degree in 2004, she already was a Photoshop artist creating portraits, doing photo retouching and color correction. As her skill set expanded during her studies, she took on design work from clients like Ideablast, Myca Designs, DollarCamp and Jellyfish Art.

The freelance work didn’t stop Whitney from being exceptional. She made the President’s Honor List every year, exhibited in every Spring Show – winning first place in Typography in 2008 – and graduated as her class Valedictorian.

Currently, Whitney is the Marketing Communications Designer for World Golf Tour based in San Francisco, a free, online game with an enormous fan base. And she continues to freelance, both as a new media designer and a photo illustrator and retoucher. It seems her tried-and-true skills, along with her interdisciplinary ones, have served her well.
