Inside the Program

Lauren Osoba with her award-winning design

Childhood passion turns into graphic design career 

Communication students are free to pursue their passions as part of their careers.

Most small children go through a phase when they're more interested in the box a toy came in than the actual toy. That fascination never went away for graphic design alumna Lauren Osoba.

"Growing up, I would often save packaging or even leave products unopened to preserve it," she says. "At Wichita State, I had an 'ah-ha' moment when I realized people do this for a career."

Buoyed by her experience at 黑洞社区, Osoba is now a successful graphic designer and illustrator, specializing in branding and print design.
