Design School Dropout No More

I've often joked about being a design school dropout a few credits away from graduating but I never thought that was 100% true. Turns out it actually truly is. I only need 2 one unit fashion classes and an art sketching class from graduating with an Associate of Science in Fashion Design and Production. I enrolled in the first class Portfolio Presentation Techniques which started last week. It's a half semester course then I'll take the final fashion course which is ironically FASHION 101 Career Opportunity in Fashion which most students take first semester. Then just take a sketching course again which I should have taken first semester but got waived out of

I find it weird that I'll be getting a science degree though Fashion is a technical skill more than anything. If I had graduated from FIDM I would have gotten an art degree. How did I get so close yet so far away? Well when I was actively studying fashion I did what many students do. They believe the hype and think they are stupid so don't take the GE requirements. Well when I switched years to Nursing many years later (I am a licensed vocational nurse on the fence about being a RN) I ended up filling in most of the gaps since they are prereqs for the RN-LVN bridge. I did all the smart courses like Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and nailed them. So designers aren't dumb. Not by a long shot.

I am enjoying starting to put my portfolio together even though I don't plan to look for work with it.
Here's my cover page logo. I'm going to focus on shoe and bag design.
