Tashia Potter lives on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in Port Alberni, BC. She is currently in her second year of the Graphic Design degree program at Vancouver Island University, choosing photography, Typography and Web Design as her favorite areas of practice. She finds great reward in being consumed by the intricate nature of these subjects, and the process of dissecting and manipulating the tiny details, to then be able to step back and see a whole picture in the end. Tashia is passionate about design and the role it plays in society, and plans to make socially responsible contributions to the field.

Tashia looks forward to working in the industry after graduation. She hopes to start as an in-house designer working in a design firm to begin to get a real life feel for the industry. Her dream job would include photography, design, as well as fashion into one all incompassing role, as Tashia is also a seamstress and spends her free time hand printing textiles. Tashia is extremely excited about choosing this career path and is enjoying every step of the education, which she says happens at every curve, she sees everything differently now.
