Bio
Richard DeJong is a senior in the Design and Visual Communication program at UWM. He has a design internship at Diverse Dining, an educational event-planning startup in Milwaukee. Richard also has a part-time position in retail. Finally, he is very involved in a student organization at UWM. Richard’s interest in design was sparked at a young age. He progressed from copying illustrations from books during childhood to still lifes and more representational work in later years. This fascination with drawing has made his design work more illustrative. That said, Richard is always excited to push his skills in new and different directions.
