Student Gives Thanks for Peck School of the Arts Professor

As my time here at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is coming to an end, I would like to thank someone who has greatly impacted my experience as an artist, designer, maker. Frankie Flood has given me experiences would never have had anywhere else. Who can say that they got to go to John's Hopkins University with their professor and teach families how to put together 3d printed prosthetic hands that their own children would get to use. He has taught me so much about process and encouraged me when I was doubtful in my abilities. It made me work harder and even if I failed it was a learning experience on how to do it better the next time. He gives his students the skills they need and takes time out of his very busy schedule and family life to help us sort through our projects and offers us opportunities to work with great people. He is dedicated to his work and makes sure his students understand that hard work can lead to great things. I am so grateful to have been a part of the Digital Craft Research Lab and got work with so many great student artists. If my interest in helping others hadn't lead me to his class I don't know what type of artist I would be without all of these amazing experiences. So, Thank you Frankie, and to your amazing family for all you do.
