LRCC Graphic Design honor student Abagail Dow also award-winning entrepreneur

LACONIA — Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) Graphic Design honor student Abagail Dow is not just an award-winning videographer, she is becoming a successful business entrepreneur.

Dow won the 2010 Granite State Dairy Promotion (GSDP) semester-long competition in her Principles of Marketing class. Her high energy video depicts “Lily,” a cuddly cow, as the GSDP mascot at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS).

The Merrimack Valley High School (MVHS) graduate is also the creative force behind Redhead Designs, a business she started May 2010, which now boasts more than 15 clients.

“The sole reason I came to LRCC was Media/Graphic Design Professor Mike Place,” said Dow, whose business specializes in graphic design, media arts, web design, fine arts, and photography. “Professors are preparing me well for obstacles the business world might throw at me.”

“I saw that Abbey had tremendous potential,” said LRCC Marketing Prfessor Max Brown. "She is a top-notch student."

Dow, who was employed by NHMS as a Communications Assistant and completed all of the Speedway’s 2010 event brochures, is pursuing her bachelor’s degree and hopes to teach graphic design at the secondary school level. View her creations at www.redheadnh.com.
