Corey Fuller, Professor of Art & Design (Graphic Design Interview Series)

In this extension to our Graphic Design and Portfolio Management mini-series, host Garret Castleberry connects with fellow academic and chair for the division of art and design at Oklahoma Baptist University, Corey Lee Fuller. Corey discusses the intricacies of a life (and lifestyle) devoted to art and graphic design. He helps unpack the evolution of art into contemporary professions like painting, illustrating, and integrated design. Garret presses Corey to describe the professional values of working in and parallel to graphic design, and they explore how professional opportunities coordinate with additional fields and professions ranging from math and architecture to website design and data analytics.
