Hi Ruqayyah! Being a creative director is a great goal, but you can't skip the steps it takes to get there. You'll need work experience as a designer before you can become a director, so I would focus on becoming the best designer you can before looking for Creative Director jobs. Draw daily. Stay in touch with trends in the creative world. Follow successful creative directors on social media to see what they do. Also, work at creative internships while you're still in school. Use your summers effectively to get as much experience as you can! I loved my design internship in school and found that it increased my design skills exponentially. I wish I had started interning earlier in my college years.
Hope that helps! Good luck and I hope you get a great Creative Director job one day. :)
