Growing up, I always enjoyed working with computers in school, but I never realized how much more I could do with them beyond basic tasks. That all changed when I joined Uncommon.org. The program opened my eyes to the endless possibilities within the tech world, particularly in graphic design and digital marketing.

Before Uncommon, I had no idea how deep the field of digital marketing could be, or how creative and powerful graphic design could be in shaping brands and influencing audiences. Through Uncommon’s hands-on learning approach, I developed a strong foundation in tools like Canva, Figma, while also gaining essential knowledge in web development languages like HTML, CSS, WordPress, and JavaScript.

Uncommon not only gave me the technical skills but also helped me discover a newfound passion for both design and marketing. It showed me how I could combine creativity with strategy to help brands connect with people in meaningful ways. I went from a person who had basic computer knowledge to a confident digital marketing specialist with a clear career path.
Uncommon.org truly helped me find my passion and empowered me to pursue it with purpose. It’s been life-changing, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me.
