About
Shawndria Frederick is aspiring to take on multiple roles in the Digital Media field, with
the knowledge in Adobe software to push towards it. The ability to create has been a passion of hers since early childhood; she sought to nurture this passion by joining art clubs and taking on advice from past art teachers. While doing her college studies, the passion for creating magnified, and she wants to share her ability with others to help bring their ideas to life. Participating in different projects throughout her academic career helped cater to the skills that she developed by providing the criticism, good and bad, that was needed. Throughout her journey, communicating with peers, mock clients, and professors helped create a broader viewpoint on diversity within different digital mediums and its capabilities. Shawndria hopes to intern—and later join—a company that allows her to continue advance her skills in multiple areas and provide the criticism needed.

Artist Statement
"Art (or sound art) is a form of expression used to create connections and form identity into a visual language. As a multi-media artist, my work focuses on bridging the gap between creative ideas with different mediums. From using Adobe Audition to create sounds to invoke emotion to using Adobe Illustration to create graphics for a visual identity, I aim to continue that connection. I believe as humans we all crave connection whether it’s through physical or non-physical means. That’s why I don’t limit myself to a certain medium, whether it’s a sound in a video game or art on a canvas, I strive to be accessible to all people. My inspiration is my passion to create and the different forms of creations but creating community. Some people don’t have the gift of creating, but they have the mind; being a resource available to others motivates me to keep going at it. I cater to a broad audience due to my skill set and capabilities; this leads my work to be open to interpretation. The viewer (or listener) must draw from their own mind to develop the connection they have to it even if there’s still aspects of myself in the work I create. This creates an atmosphere open to exploration, which would lead to good conversation about the connections that are made."
