I’m Kristin Frost, born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, and I am studying to become a Graphic Designer. I found my passion for photo manipulation and logo design making when I was in middle school, when I was editing my own YouTube channel banner and profile photos. In addition to designing for myself, I also had a passion for digital art. In 2018, I got my first digital drawing tablet to aid me in my digital works.. I also found it helpful for projects in Graphic Design! By the end of the Graphic Design program, I want to use the knowledge I learned and apply it into my future works. I might even start out as a freelancer for some outside experience.

Aside from having an artistic passion, I have a passion for dogs. I have three of my own that were adopted throughout the last 3 years. If anyone is wondering on their breeds, they are Siberian Husky, Siberian Husky/German Shepherd mix, and Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix. They were my first dogs to train, bond, walk, and care for. Now, I am very interested in learning dog training and dog behavior. Ever since we adopted them, I’ve learned a lot about the shelter life for a dog, and it warms my heart that we adopted 3 dogs into a loving home. I would do anything to keep them safe and happy. 

My name is Ridic Ferrand, and I am a multimedia student at Lane Community College. When I am not doing anything related to multimedia in my free time, I like to play chess as having a hobby with logic as the focus creates a nice contrast to all of the creative passions I have for the arts. My reason for being in this program goes back quite a few years to seventh grade, when I first got into animation. The passion I had for creating animations carried me through the multimedia course I took in high school, enjoying every bit of it and wanting more. While my focus has shifted from animation to more live action focused work, my heart still stands in wanting to make video, no matter the medium. Whether I am drawing frames, holding a camera, or making last minute edits to a video before rendering, a career in multimedia is what I have wanted for a long time now. When I finish the Media Arts program at Lane, I hope all of the hard work pays off and I land that dream job of working with a crew to produce videos, air local events, while having the fun that I have experienced in this field for the past few years and hope to enjoy for many years to come.

Hi everyone!

My name is Logan Habib. I was born in Eugene and have lived here a majority of my life. I briefly spent time in the small town of Crystal River, Florida from the age of two till’ the age of four. Honestly, it’s one of my least favorite places, having visited it again in recent years, and I am more than happy to have moved here. I have always loved animation and the process behind creating it. I used to create Youtube videos when I was younger and in these videos, I created animated short stories. I modeled, animated and rendered all the videos myself and found a lot of joy in doing so. I also really enjoy creating in the numerous Adobe Creative Cloud apps. This passion I found is the whole reason why I chose to study Multimedia Design at LCC. I was previously enrolled at LCC to obtain a Journalism and Communications degree, but decided it wasn’t for me. One day, I aspire to be an animator either independently or for a company.

I’ve always really enjoyed sports or any form of physical activity to keep me going. I was a Second Team All-League lacrosse goalie for Churchill High School both years I played, from 2016-2017. It’s been a long time since I have played, but I still enjoy keeping up with the PLL or Premier Lacrosse League. It still fires me up seeing the best compete against one another. Aside from sports, my other hobbies include video games, playing the saxophone, hanging with friends and family, and overall just living life.

As I stated, after I complete the Media Arts Program, I plan to become an animator. Animation fascinates me because it is the act of creating static imagery to simulate movement. There are countless possibilities/scenarios that an individual can create when they are creating animation and that’s why I can’t wait to create my own advanced animation projects. I also very much enjoy films, so being able to produce on a film set would also be very cool.

I am beyond excited to being this journey into the program with you all and can’t wait to enrich my mind with new information!!!
