Jacob Collier, Designer

A transfer student from Texas I am always looking for new challenges to attempt and new experiences. I am a Graphic designer with The Orion and have been with The Orion for three semesters.  Of those semesters I have worked as chief of design and been awarded multiple awards from the Associated Collegiate Press for my work in 2019.  I have worked alongside many great people who have inspired me to write and photograph for The Orion as well.
