As a kid, my life revolved around hockey, a demanding contact sport, but it was my way of
expression. When I was in that ring, my sharp breaths, the blades beneath my feet, and the
carbon fiber stick in my hands brought me to my place of bliss. I lived, breathed, and slept
hockey. My idol, Wayne Gretzky, said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” a quote
that has stayed with me my entire life. I joined the military, realized it wasn’t for me, I married
my dream wife, and in the last three years, I decided to take my shot at college. I stand here as a
double major in Media Design and Marketing. Returning to school at 34 was challenging, but I
hit the ground running, making time for my schoolwork, family, and personal life. I can honestly
say that I feel, for the first time in my life, like I’m headed in the right direction. As I have gone
down this path, I have run into roadblocks and days when I just don’t feel very creative, but I can
say I have found ways to break through the roadblocks, one of which is photography. I have
found my passion for wielding a camera again, and frankly, it has taken me back to the past. It
has taught me patience for my designs and my desired look, and overall, it has helped all my
designs become more refined. I can’t wait to see my story unfold and see where life takes me
along this journey.
Nicholas Allen
I grew up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and like many people, it took me some time to discover the right career path. I explored business and real estate, but neither felt like the right fit. What I did always have, though, was a strong eye for design.
Growing up, I created short-form videos on Musical.ly (now TikTok), where I animated images to trending music. That account grew to over 115,000 followers and led to opportunities to collaborate with music labels promoting new artists. Those experiences showed me how much I enjoyed creating and sharing visual content.
Once I discovered the graphic design program at Southeast Technical College, I knew I had found the direction I wanted to pursue. I take pride in my work and pay close attention to detail, making sure every element serves a purpose. Alongside my technical skills, I bring strong communication skills developed over years in the service industry, enabling me to work effectively with others and understand clients’ needs.
During my time at Southeast Tech, I have developed a clearer sense of my personal design style. I gravitate toward clean, simple, and legible designs, but I also enjoy the challenge of creating more complex compositions when needed.
Outside of design, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, listening to music, watching movies, and playing the piano and violin. These creative outlets continue to inspire my work.
I have learned a great deal in a short amount of time, and I am excited to continue growing as a designer.
Allie Huber
Growing up in Sioux Falls, SD, I never felt like I had a solid group of friends. From making friends in elementary school to everyone leaving for a different school in middle school and high school, it was always a hard adjustment for me to find my group.
During high school, I discovered my passion for cheerleading, which served as an outlet for me to make friends and have a group of girls I could rely on, while also being creative in coming up with cheers for the team. After high school, all I wanted to do was cheer. People would ask me, “What are you going to college for?” and I always told them, “Cheerleading.” After graduation, I attended the University of South Dakota in Vermillion as a member of the cheer team. I once again fell into this hole of not having my group of people around me anymore, not knowing what my future looked like, and realized that I could not be a cheerleader forever. Eventually, I realized that my heart belonged to Sioux Falls. However, I did not leave cheerleading forever. I found a place back in my high school, but as a cheerleading coach.
When I discovered Southeast Technical College and its Media Design and Marketing program, I knew that this was the path I wanted to pursue. I grew up designing everything I could for family events. Leaving the cheer world was hard, but I found my footing at Southeast, and I thrive on designing anything graphic or for the web. When I sit down and open my computer to design, I experience a sense of peace and feel as though I have discovered my community.
Raigan Johnson
Figuring out who I wanted to be when I grew up was always the question I never answered. It was always I don’t know yet or some silly little thing that never truly existed. One day, my cousin’s husband asked me that question, and finally, an answer came out: “Graphic design artist”. After all these years of my mother telling me I needed to do something in the creative field, I started to investigate it. Now here I am at Southeast Tech learning more about it every single day.
After my cousin’s husband heard me say graphic design, he offered to sit in with Epicosity for a day and even join in on a meeting and give my own input. Leaving Epicosity that day, I knew I just had to go through with this dream.
The creative journey began with drawing and painting from my youth until now. Then went to high school and started in a graphic design class. At the time, I started to have doubts, but my teacher pushed me and got me to stay and work. We made all our designs for a mini comic con at the school. You were able to buy our designs and take them home. For my senior year, I had a few filler classes that I needed, and they had made an advanced graphic design class, so, of course, I had to sign up for it. That year, we focused on doing designs for the school, like navigation signs that would eventually be put up in Jefferson, and little things for some teachers. It really gave me a feel of what working with clients would be like.
Looking ahead, I am eager for more opportunities that will allow me to further develop my skills and deepen my involvement within the design industry.
Ellie Keierleber
As a child, I was always captivated by wonder and creativity. I devoured books as soon as I could read, whisking myself away to fairytale lands, where I lived and breathed the stories. I created realities with my sisters, running around our property, battling villains with sticks, and struggling to survive the “harsh elements” in our handmade forts. I brought my imagination to life with brush strokes on canvas, pencils, crayons, and markers. Colors, light, and words on a page held me in their grip, and so I strived to recreate what I saw.
I was beyond ecstatic to have the opportunity to publish an original poem in 2023, titled “Sprinkles,” fanning the fire in my soul to create. It was then that I knew I was meant to follow my heart and pursue a career in design so I would never have to stop creating. Through my designs, I can tell the stories of brands I partner with and companies I work for. I create narratives and uphold the identities of people and products. Through my designs, I have the power to write the script.
Every design has a story – where the concept originated from, how the elements weave together. There is a story behind the hands that created it, and their personal experiences influence how the designer perceives it. My past experiences fuel my drive for creativity. From a young age, I have worked to develop my own stories and worlds, often to escape but always to build upon my reality. Growing up, I learned my imagination was my only limit, and I live by that belief.
Ally Radke-Kiesz
As the eldest daughter, I have always felt the pressure to learn and do as much as I can, as quickly as I can. I was quick to jump into advanced placement and dual-credit courses, as well as varsity extracurriculars. Although I excelled in these areas in high school, I found myself burnt out by the time I was off to college.
My first college experience was at North Dakota State University, where I completed 2 years of my Interior Design bachelor’s degree. However, the burnout from high school had finally caught up to me. While I enjoyed being an RA, a member of the marching band, and a friend to many at NDSU, I realized I was not content with pursuing Interior Design as a career. This realization led me to decide to take a gap year and reconsider my professional path.
During this year off, I worked on rebuilding myself: I maintained a full-time job, started new hobbies, and reconnected with old friends. Some of the memories I created are ones I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Around this time, my sister was a high school senior touring colleges. I tagged along to see if I felt ready to return to school and to consider possible next steps for my own career. When I toured STC, I felt drawn to the school and the media design technology program. That sense of connection became my sign that it was time to try something new.
As Billy Joel says in Vienna: “Slow down, you’re doin’ fine; you can’t be everything you wanna be before your time.” Trusting the process helped me rediscover my passion and find a new direction. Taking things one step at a time, I’m ready to embrace the opportunities ahead of me.
Nataliya Shkinder
Ever since taking my first graphic design course during my sophomore year of high school, I knew I had found something I was meant to pursue. At the time, I was confident in my abilities, encouraged by positive feedback from teachers and friends. Looking back now, my early work shows me how much I’ve grown, and how much more there is to learn.
That curiosity and passion led me to intern at Fox Print during my senior year of high school. There, I gained hands-on experience with real-world tools and workflows, improved my ability to communicate with a design team, and learned to adapt my designs based on feedback. These experiences developed my problem-solving skills and introduced me to the realities of design in a professional environment.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” – Ecclesiastes 3:11
This verse guides my design approach: creativity unfolds over time. Each project requires patience and intention, and I strive for work that reflects control and growth while learning from each experience.
My attention to detail can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it has become one of my greatest strengths. It pushes me to refine, rethink, and elevate my work. Over the years, I have created designs for my church, friends, and personal projects, using my skills to contribute in meaningful ways.
From logo design to photography, I continue to develop as a versatile and thoughtful designer. With each project, I refine my skills and move closer to the designer I aspire to become.
Caleb Smith
Figuring out exactly what I wanted to do with my future was always a struggle for me. Straight out of high school, I felt the pressure of “needing” to attend a four-year school to be successful, and so I did. I attended USD for graphic design, but quickly found myself struggling through my gen eds of math and science courses. I was extremely unhappy, and I quickly realized this was not the route for me. I dropped out of school and moved back home for a few years until I could get back onto my feet.
Growing up, I often excelled in any kind of art class you could imagine, Painting, Drawing, 3-D Design, you name it. I felt creatively fulfilled when expressing my creativity through design and felt like it was my calling to pursue Graphic Design.
This passion led me to Southeast Tech, where I have significantly strengthened my skills as a designer. By gaining a better understanding of design principles, developing attention to detail, and receiving hands-on instruction from my teachers, I have laid a solid foundation for my success.
Building on these skills, I take inspiration from the media I consume, especially music. I often construct designs based on song lyrics, album covers, tour posters, and vinyl record layouts. Part of my love for music comes from how artists make listeners feel something through their words, and I enjoy translating these emotional experiences into visual form.
I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next for me after graduation. I feel confident knowing that I now have the knowledge and experience I need to begin shaping the future I want for myself.
Aaron Tarelo
Every detail is significant. These are the words that I’ve lived by even before starting my graphic design journey. As a curator of vintage goods and antiques, I know that every particular element holds its own importance; I’ve brought that attention to detail to my work as a graphic designer with communities and businesses such as Second Saturday Market, STC Veterans Club, Green Dream Screen Printing, Urban Archeology, and PBT. I revel in the creative process and love to surround myself with those who collaborate and push boundaries.
As a first-generation college student, I owe all the opportunities I receive to my parents. Those cultural roots, admiration for music, and my deep love for antiques profoundly influenced my creative path. The combination of these passions led me to study Media Design Technology at Southeast Technical College in Sioux Falls, SD. In this city, I discovered a thriving community of visionaries who share a passion for creating. Out of this love, I created one of my favorite projects to date: ARDOR magazine. I decided to highlight a few people who make Sioux Falls so special. Incorporated in the magazine are my advertising and layout designs, as well as my creative writing and photography. I strive to learn and be better than I was the day prior, which can be seen throughout the evolution of my work from the past 2 years.
Olivia Oetken
Someone once told me at work that they “really like my flair.” At first, I didn’t know how to feel about it, but their comment quickly grew on me. I think about it often, wondering what they saw in me when they said it.
I was always a little odd as a kid, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing! Growing up in a small town in Iowa and attending Catholic school, I often felt like the odd one out. I spent lots of time by myself, diving into my creative passions. I loved designing characters and creating stories and comics about them. Weekends at my grandparents’ house meant hours spent in the guest room, lost in my little world with a pencil and a notebook. As an only child, that world was mine alone, and it’s a place I still cherish.
My hobbies have changed as I’ve grown up, but I’ll always have my personal escape. These days, I’ve been loving crocheting and listening to music. Crocheting is fun, but I can’t focus in silence. With my AirPods in (always on noise-cancellation mode), it feels like I have the whole world to myself! Music is a constant in my life—whether it’s a five-minute trip to the laundry room or a two-hour design project, I’ve always got something playing. Last summer, I bought a CD player and started building a collection of my favorite albums…and some that I stole from my parents.
I’d like to think that everyone has their own “flair,” especially in a creative field like design. For me, it’s about adding my personality to my work. I’m very excited to share my designs and show my flair to everyone!
Erin Pazour
My home state is, of course, South Dakota. I was born, raised and homeschooled, on a farm near a small town called Pukwana. As a kid, I never really got into the girly types of activities one expects. Rather than playing dress-up or hosting tea parties, I was more interested in acting out fight scenes, playing dinosaurs and chasing frogs in the rain with my brothers.
From a young age, I was inspired by everything art and was constantly writing stories, drawing my own characters, and even made a few silly comic strips with my little brother. I went through many artistic phases and loved trying out new forms of creative expression. From drawing with colored pencils and crayons to creating things with pipe-cleaners. Growing up on a farm with my three brothers, taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, and working as a team.
Whether it be an artistic project or physical labor, I always put forward a hundred and ten percent. I’m always happy to help and even though I might mess up from time to time, I’m a fast learner and always looking to improve. As my dad once told me “It’s only a mistake if you don’t learn from it” That sentence has stuck with me and pushes me to never give up and always try my best no matter what.
I pride myself on being honest, and as a person who follows the policy of “say what I mean and mean what I say” my ability to get along with almost everyone I meet seems to come naturally. I have always been different from others, but that never bothered me, honestly, I found being called weird a compliment, because where is the fun in being normal?
Autumn Schreiber
Born in Minnesota, I moved to South Dakota with my family in 2012. My family has instilled the value of hard work. I was no stranger to helping my parents in the garden, around the house, and even stuccoing. Since I was fifteen, I’ve always balanced school and working part-time or full-time on breaks. In high school, I pushed myself to take college-level classes and scored college credits through CLEP, AP tests, and dual credit classes. When I’m not at school, I’m at work. I’ve worked at nursing homes and fast-food chains. Neither are glamorous but they have taught me integral skills such as customer service and resilience.
Through my years of work, I paid for my education with minimal loans. Not only do I bring my technical skills to the table, but I also bring my tenacity and drive. I always strive to complete tasks to the best of my ability, whether serving customers or designing a website. My passion drives me to accomplish all projects. I love coming up with creative solutions. I’ve never shied away from asking questions and gaining clarity. I always want to put my best foot forward and meet the needs of my clients.
In my free time, you can find me planning my next concert trip and seeking community. Music has always impacted me, and it inspires projects. I like taking my favorite lyrics and drafting up merch ideas or posters. I’ve been trying to foster more community. When I have time, I enjoy attending my local mutual aid group and AIGA meetings. I’m always open and seeking connection.
Tin Tran
Art is like an onion—it has layers. Art is more than just the surface. I am art.
Growing up, I never felt like I belonged anywhere. I was too weird for most people, but I eventually found my group. However, I never connected with any of my teachers. Many of them only talked about football, which I didn’t like. It wasn’t until my final two years that I found two teachers I could relate to—my photography and painting teachers. For once, I could bond with teachers over a shared interest. I felt like I belonged in that classroom. When I graduated, they gave me farewell gifts and cards that meant so much to me. It showed that they cared. That’s what I love about art—it makes you feel like you belong somewhere.
This sense of belonging led me to join STC. I first learned about the school during my freshman year on a field trip for an interior design class. It left an impression on me, one that lingered until I applied during my senior year. I always knew I would work in the art field somehow, and with STC, that dream could come true.
I don’t want to be pigeonholed in this field. I aspire to be a jack-of-all-trades with my designs. That’s why I intend to gain a solid understanding of all the programs Adobe offers. My classmates say they hate Dreamweaver, but they only hate what they don’t understand. I’m determined to master these programs and become the best I can be. My parents didn’t immigrate here for me to give up easily. I will never back down—I will be the best I can be.
Dannika Weelborg
Despite challenges with cystic fibrosis, my passion for media design fuels me to excel in this field of creativity. Every obstacle I encounter only strengthens my determination to push forward, refine my skills, and bring my artistic visions to life. I refuse to let my condition define my limits; instead, I channel my experiences into my work, allowing them to shape my perspective and enhance my creativity.
By embracing life to the fullest, I hope to inspire those around me, showing them that perseverance and passion can overcome even the most difficult circumstances. Living each day as if it could be my last allows me to experience things that I would usually say no to.
“Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.” – Theodore Roosevelt
His quote opened my eyes to how I see life. Living by this quote, has helped form my personality. When hardships come, I keep my faith strong and depend on it to get me through to the other side. When designing, it’s easy to get frustrated quickly. However, staying patient and kind is something I always strive to do. One of my best skills is caring about the humans around me. No matter who or the situation, my big heart seeps into every conversation.
With writing skills, design skills, people skills, and more, I am beyond ready to see what the future holds for me in the design field. The sky is limitless! Thinking about where I could be in a short amount of time makes me smile.

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late… to be whoever you want to be.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This quote has inspired me to follow my true passions, even if the journey has not been straightforward. In 2019, I graduated high school and enrolled in South Dakota State University’s pharmacy program. Throughout college, I gradually noticed I was not passionate about what I was learning and dreaded becoming a pharmacist. In 2023, I finally realized that becoming a career in pharmacy was not for me, and I knew I needed to make a change before it was too late.
After graduating from SDSU with my bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences, I decided to take a leap of faith and follow my heart. Like many others in this field, creating art has always been my main passion. At first, I was scared to pursue a career in art because it did not have a set, clear path like the medical field. Growing up, people told me I would not be financially successful if I followed my true passion and pursued it as a career, so I stayed with the “safe” route.
In 2023, I enrolled at Southeast Technical College to study media design. The design program has been a better fit for me, and I enjoy learning and improving my skills. I am finally passionate about my work and love learning something new daily. I currently have an internship at PANTHER | Ad Arts and have been creating branding materials for the company. I love gaining real-world experience while I have been there. I am so thankful that I dared to pursue a different career I am passionate about. I want others to know it is never too late to start over and be who you want to be.
Abrianna Zuccaro
As the youngest of six kids raised by a single dad, growing up was difficult. I had to learn early on how to be independent and resourceful. With limited resources, I had to figure things out on my own and find ways to keep myself occupied. Much of my childhood was spent doing crafts with random items I found around the house or drawing on printer paper. What started as a simple way to pass the time turned into the spark for my love of creativity.
Heading into my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to pursue. I explored teaching, counseling, and even culinary school, but none of them felt like something I could see myself doing for the rest of my life. Then I discovered graphic design. It was exactly what I was looking for—something where there wasn’t just one right answer, like in math or science, but where I could be creative and challenge myself to do my best. I wanted to work in a field where I could continuously learn and grow, not just repeat the same tasks every day.
But more than that, I wanted a career that I could not only enjoy but also rely on for stability. Seeing how hard my dad worked every single day to provide for us made me realize how important it is to find a job that is both fulfilling and financially secure. I didn’t want to end up in a career where I dreaded going to work every day. Graphic design offers that balance. It allows me to be creative, think outside the box, and push myself while also giving me the stability to build the kind of future I want.
Chris Pieper
Ever since I was a little kid in Yankton, South Dakota, I have loved art. Whether I was driving down the road looking at billboards, watching television, or looking at a magazine, it caught my eye. I was involved with the arts while growing up, acting and behind-the-scenes work in theatre, singing in the choir, playing the violin in the orchestra, or drawing on a piece of paper.
Initially, I started my school career with an HVAC career; I felt like that wasn’t for me, and I wanted to do something else, but what? With a love for art, why not find a career where you can use art? I chose Southeast Tech because its graphics program was excellent. I already have a degree in digital media through them, but I want to expand on that and have decided to continue my education; I chose to continue with the Media Design program. Since I have been with Southeast Tech, I have gained insight into print design and got to see firsthand what it’s like working for a graphics company.
Since being in the media design program, I have gained experience in the Adobe Creative Suite programs. I learned how to edit photos, create motion graphics, and make magazine layouts.
Having a degree in both, I plan to find a career in which I can utilize them together. Having been from South Dakota, I plan to stay in the state and gain some experience in graphics with a company while being close to my family.

What is a passion? According to Google, passion is an intense desire or enthusiasm for something. When we refer to a passion, most of us think about something we love to do. Naturally, this thing we are passionate about influences our choice of degree post-high school, but what happens when you feel that you are not passionate about anything?
Growing up, I never felt I was necessarily passionate about anything. I excelled at math, science, English, chemistry, and most other subjects. It came easy to me, but I wasn’t passionate about them. I liked to draw, write songs, create music, and teach myself things, but when asked, “What do you want to go to college for,” my mind blanked. This was the case so much throughout middle and high school that I took a gap year after graduation in 2021. As the fall of 2022 approached, I was still trying to figure out what I was passionate enough about to pursue.
Attending the Media Design program was a spontaneous decision. If I loved music, drawing, and creating things, then media design was for me. At least, that’s what I thought. 2 years later, that thought turned out to be true.
My experience at Southeast Tech has taught me that a passion can be grown. Today, I am proud to say that I am passionate about design. As a graphic designer, I aim to continue challenging myself, create original content, and constantly learn new things. I embrace mistakes and believe that mistakes are an opportunity to grow and teach others. Through this principle, I have become versatile in my skills and am always up for a challenge.

Will Roths
I am someone who rises to challenges. When I was born, I was three months premature, and everyone was unsure if I was going to live, but I pulled through and survived. Thinking back on it, that was a big part of what made me who I am. I always want to try something new, rise to the occasion, and help others. I do that by volunteering to assist those in need. I have helped at nonprofit organizations like the 211 Helpline Center and Feeding South Dakota, the Union Gospel Mission, and The Volunteers of America. I helped with a variety of tasks at each organization, but what I learned I liked doing most was working in media when I volunteered at The Union Gospel Mission; I worked with their marketing director, and most of our daily tasks consisted of creating posts for Facebook and Instagram and billboards about upcoming events and what the mission needed for donations. The best part about working there is that they showed they trusted me by letting me work on my own and that it would be finished on time; it also helped that the people I worked with also treated it like a mentorship and taught me some skills that related to working in social media which was very helpful to me. I was able to learn a great deal. Volunteering has helped me grow, and it is great knowing that my work was used to support others in need. It made me feel good, so I returned as much as possible to help.

For as long as I can remember, I have deeply loved the arts and creating. Since I was young, I’ve always enjoyed trying to recreate the things that I see into my own style. I would even draw on my desk and toys, which my parents weren’t pleased about, but they never tried to dampen my creativity.
However, I was always told that my art couldn’t be my career. By who, I’m not sure, but it was something I had come to terms with. So, I was never sure of what I wanted to do after high school graduation. I had a few ideas. Marine Biology is too expensive to travel. Psychology has too many years of school. In my high school senior year, I had to choose between a woodworking class and a web design class. I had no interest in woodworking, so I decided on web design and stepped into the world of HTML. My teacher, Mr. Burg, soon informed me that there are many creative career paths where I could put my skills to work.
I eventually settled on Media Design. The degree had so much more to it than I had previously assumed. My idea of graphic design was drawing on a computer or tablet, but when I entered college, I realized it was much more. And especially with our fast-evolving technologies, there are so many career paths available for graphic or media design. I eventually became proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I was unsure of my choice at first, but it soon became enjoyable, and I knew I had made the correct decision.

Makayla Wickman
Growing up in Rock Valley, Iowa’s small, conservative town, gave me a unique perspective on life and creativity. With a population of less than 3,000 and a class of 50, I was always labeled “the musical one” or “the creative one.” I never considered myself artistic or creative because I always associated art with drawing; however, the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve learned that art comes in many forms and is everywhere! Art for me started in fifth grade when I picked up the saxophone. I quickly fell in love with music, going on to play five different instruments by my Junior year. I was involved in anything and everything music-related, not only in school but outside as well. My band and choir teacher were huge inspirations for me growing up; however, through them, I learned that I did not want to do music as a career.
Art then came to me in photography. I started falling in love with photography at the age of 14. I took pictures of anything and everything; as time passed, I developed my style. I love creating unique scenes and capturing images that get people to talk. For example, I once covered a model in sand and glitter at a beach; this idea has won me multiple awards! It is through photography that I discovered I wanted to go into design. I was very nervous that I would not be good in this field simply because I could not draw.
However, proven for a third time, art is about more than just drawing. I love coming up with ideas and watching them come to life; that is as much art as anything else. I have learned so much about design, art, creativity, and myself through this career path. I can not wait to see where I go from here.
