Applied Learning Highlight: Janis Hwang

As a fourth-year graphic design major at Wichita State, Janis Hwang has found her applied learning experience to be both creatively fulfilling and professionally transformative. Through her role designing for No Choice but Action, a project that aims to preserve and highlight Kansas’ often-overlooked role in American independent and post-punk music, she has been able to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to work as a designer in a real-world context.

Her primary responsibilities have included creating apparel designs and motion graphics for the organization’s social media presence. Janis said, “it’s been a great affirmation to work in a real client-designer setting.”
