This summer I started working at AS220 Youth Studio as part of the artist grant program. The reason I started this program is because I thought it would be a good opportunity for me. This program helped me to stay out of trouble and to learn new skills. Teenagers and young people would like my job because it is fun. We do a lot of projects and go to a lot of different places. I also learned a lot about design while I was creating my products. My job inspires me because I realized I can do new things with the skills I learned. I love hands on work and learning new things. I want to keep learning, and I would also like to make more products so I can sell them to people all around the world :) .
Hi, my name is Tealeyona Shorts, and I am a graphic designer. I design t-shirts, jewelry, and logos. I use machines such as the laser cutter and the vinyl cutter to create my products.
