LCA Art Director: Marisol Diaz

Currently a student, graphic designer, radio host, and mother, this girl has got it all goin' on! Here's a latina who never stops pursuing her goals, and is always up to something.*** At an early age, Marisol was interested in design concepts and creation. When she was in middle school, she became interested in computers and computer art/design. It was then that she decided she wanted to study Art in college to pursue a career in Graphic Design. In high school, at the tender age of 16, she enrolled in an internship program, where she got her first job in the graphics industry as a proofer, making proofs of projects for clients to view before their project was sent to print. After she graduated, she went to Waukesha County Technical College, to obtain an associate degree in Printing and Publishing. After that, she decided to continue going to school and pursue a bachelor degree in Art with emphasis in Graphic Design, at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.
