In order to document the process of my thesis, I created a visual presentation.

2. CURIOUS CREATURES
My book was inspired by the real threat this Earth faces each
and every day we continue to destroy it. The Amazon
Rainforest fire and Australia bushfires in 2019 were
devastating to not only the environment, but to the creatures
who call those places home. These global tragedies provoked
me to think about what I could do, right here, to be a part
of the solution and inspire others to think the same.

20. Where do I go from here?
-I’ll move back to Michigan on June 30th and start applying for jobs
locally, so that I can save my money wisely. (Keeping in mind the 6
month loan deferment)
-Depending on what the outbreak of coronavirus is like, I will
hopefully begin to apply for careers nationwide from there, ready to
leave home for the last time!
-With a minor in business and art history, I am going to search a
wide range of jobs starting out, and eventually work my way towards
what I want to be, an art director.
