Brandy Ludlam-Graphic Designer/Web designer

1. Can you briefly define your job to me?
I own a website design company where I develop custom-made websites and many of the graphics included. I also produce videos for various clients as needed.

2. How did you get started in the business?
I actually got started because I was bored :). I began teaching myself how to write HTML code over a break in high school. I discovered that I actually liked it and things went from there. I began to dabble in graphic design as well as flash and video editing to enhance my web designs. I began editing and producing video my freshman year in college.

3. How do you tell someone over you (your boss) that you can't accomplish an assigned task?
This may sound conceded, but I can't remember a time where I've had to tell someone I can't accomplish a task. It seems like every time I run into something that doesn't "work" the way that it should or I am not getting the outcome desired, I always seem to find a work-around that satisfies my standard of excellence and the one I am working for.

4. Do you have any advice for a media student starting out?

Take your tasks seriously but don't take yourself too seriously. Have fun with what you're doing. Don't ever forget
