Alumni Spotlight: Emma Gustafson

In the Visual Communications program at KU, I felt inspired and excited to attend class every day. The professors are incredible designers, and their expertise is unmatched. They helped me improve my craft, become a well-rounded designer, and understand what my career could look like. Ultimately, I discovered my love for branding and user experience (UX) design through Visual Communications courses. This landed me my dream job at Adobe in San Francisco as a UX designer on the brand team. Daily, I’m putting what I learned at KU to use. I get to create logos, illustrations, and experiences used in products essential to every designer’s workflow (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, to name a few) while being on the cutting edge of technology.
