Gage Houle
Lansing
Summary
I graduated in the class of 2020/2021 at Sparta High School in Sparta, Michigan. A little bit about me is that I ran track and field for seven years, four of which, I ran in state championships. I participated in theatre productions for eight years, and I like warm weather. I have spent two years learning graphic design at the Kent Career/Technical Center in Grand Rapids MI in the Graphics Department. I have two years of experience with customer jobs and working with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and In Design. I also have experience with Screen Printing, Large Format Printing, Offset Printing, Digital Printing, Decal Printing, and Dye Sublimation. I am planning on attending college. My goal is to get my Bachelors in Graphic Design and to finally give life to designs that started off as nothing but an idea.
