More: ECU Alumni Talk Series!
After graduating Emily Carr University, where did our alumni go and what did they do as a designer?
"Did they know what kind of designer they want to become when was at school, like where I am right now?"
"Did they know what the day-to-day would be like working as a designer? I don’t know anything about that."
We’re planning a talk series - “After Graduating ECU, I become a ______” to help you answer these questions!
