Helena Cooray
My name is Helena and I am a Digital Media Design major at Coastline College. I am 34 years old and pursuing an Associate degree to set the right path towards my dream job in the future, but I am currently 6 months pregnant, so I am taking it step by step—and all that with the support of my amazing husband. I like to create creative creations, and this poster is one of my Photoshop class assignments here at Coastline where I was able to use everything I've learned and I am very grateful for it. Usually, I like to work on some more colorful pieces, or even more positive, but I enjoyed the making of this one as I could reflect and use all the new skills.
Jacqueline Thomas
My name is Jacqueline Thomas. I've been working as a freelance graphic designer for just over 2 years. Prior to that, I worked in the healthcare industry for 14 years as a Service Account Manager. I grew tried of being stressed out every single day to no end and realized I didn't want that anymore. So I decided to follow my passion for design, and in 2021, I joined Coastline College. I'm proud to share that on May 30, 2025, I have officially graduated from the DMD Program. This journey has been an amazing experience— learning the ins and outs of Adobe Illustrator / Creative Cloud has helped me grow so much as a designer. Lastly, I want to give a heartfelt thank you to professor Gomez for her guidance and encouragement, in Graphic Design / Illustration, Photoshop, and Digital Media Business Basics. The knowledge gained is priceless.
