Hello, people of this wild world that we live in. My name is Emma Binstein, although many call me Binny. I have come here today to introduce myself to you all. I was born in the suburbs of Illinois and moved to the small resort town of Whitefish, Montana at the age of 2. This town is the definition of small-town living, there is 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, basically meaning everyone knows everyone. I grew up dancing during the week and going skiing on the weekends. Life was pretty simple at that age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward 16 years, and I move to Corvallis, OR. Placed into a tiny dorm room surrounded by 35,000 students without knowing a single person. Talk about a fresh start. It wasn’t until a few months in that I began to meet all these amazing new people and truly learned to understand the importance of getting out of my home state. Thus bringing a larger appreciation for visiting home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming into college, Interior Design in the College of Business was what I was set on. After realizing I like the creative side of design midway through my Winter term, I switched to a Graphic Design major in the College of Liberal Arts, possibly one of the best decisions I ever made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In high school, I took digital design during my freshman year and then media communications my senior year. This allowed me to have a semi-solid base going into college. Starting in the application class during Spring term was a bit nerve-wracking and unknown, then I began to understand the art of Graphic Design, and the perfectionism it takes, which is what first drew me to it initially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A long time ago, some friends asked me the common question: What do you want to do with a Graphic Design major? Off the top of my head, I said “I think it would be awesome to design skis, snowboards, and skateboards.” Since that day, I have hoped one day, I will be skiing down the mountain on my own custom made skis. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
