What’s poppin! I’m Surya Atmuri, a sophomore at Montgomery High School, and I have a special passion for graphic design, animation, and vfx editing. In my free time, I like to relax, listen to chill lofi beats, and try new things in Photoshop and Illustrator. I also enjoy building computers and browsing Youtube to learn new things and upgrade my skill set like learning how to type faster.
Upon talking to some friends, I discovered Design Your Careers and decided to check it out. At first, I was apprehensive of indulging so much of my time into this organization but after a few weeks of time, I came to approach a different perspective and one that is more favorable. Over the last 7 months, I have reached over a hundred different people in three different workshops ranging from Algebra 1 to Photoshop and even the fundraising community for low income families.. It was an amazing experience throughout and drove me to continue actively partaking in DYC’s bubble. Upon these experiences, I have learnt more about different subjects through my interactions with different students. Furthermore, I have developed my communication skills through the weekly emails I spent time and effort into conveying a clear and to the point message.
Up until now, I have enjoyed my road with DYC and thrived with the various opportunities I have been granted to reach out and inspire others to ignite an interest in different fields of interest. Because of DYC’s easy to navigate virtual system, I was easily able to efficiently invest my time across summer and into school without losing out anywhere else. Having been able to accumulate a portfolio, sharpen my skills, and build confidence, I would like to appreciate and thank the Design Your Careers organization for gifting me this chance to extend my knowledge past myself and onto many others.
