Sylvia Wills Ninnemann.
Hello! My name is Sylvia Wills Ninnemann, and I go by Wills! I am a senior at Clemson University majoring in Graphic Communications with a minor in Brand Communications. I will be graduating in December of 2023, and I am looking forward to one final semester in Clemson, South Carolina.
I have enjoyed various creative projects over the years, and my interests are in several places. I began my college career as a Food Science and Human Nutrition major. After not thoroughly enjoying my classes and the COVID-19 Pandemic arriving at the close of my freshman year, it left me with a lot of time to think and time to be creative. Over the pandemic, I dove back into my creative avenues, primarily painting at the time, and rediscovered my love for creativity. After careful consideration and research, I changed my major to Graphic Communications. The switch has been quite a rewarding and exciting journey that I am thankful to have made.
During my time at Clemson, I have had the opportunity to be the intern for Clemson Football’s Recruiting Department, both full-time and now part-time, as well as the Graphic Design Intern for Kanga Coolers. I have learned abundant information and skills through these full-time positions with real-world work. Aside from being an intern, my curriculum at Clemson has been challenging but also beneficial to learn and grow from.
I will be graduating this December (2023) and am currently exploring jobs related to the creative field! Please feel free to take a look at my work and portfolio!
