Melinda Koslik
Class of 2008, Graphic Design
Current Job Title: Graphic Designer / Ward 3 City Councilor
Current Employer: Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe
As a graphic designer at Orrick, I work with a small in-house team to handle all of the marketing pieces that the firm produces on a regular basis. We create everything from graphics for the website and printed advertisements and brochures to providing on-site graphic support at events, preparing PowerPoints, and designing email invitations. Each day is different and I get to travel a few times a year, which are a few things that I love about my job.
I am also very involved in the community of Wheeling and have recently been appointed to City Council, representing Ward 3. I believe that if you want to see change happen, you have to get involved at the local level.
Fondest PTC memory: The student portfolio show! I loved seeing all of my work come together at the end of the program and it’s how I landed my first job.
2019 New Year’s resolution: Learn a second language (Spanish or French), take at least one international trip, and eat less meat.
