Bio

Artistic imagination expressed for a purpose. My creative mind views the world through analytical observation, leading to either appreciation or evolution. I am focused on how the world around me translates into design and how different mediums cross over into each other.

I have always been creatively driven, first exposed through painting and drawing with my grandma at a young age. Now I am an art student concentrating on building my portfolio and skill set through graphic design. I value maintaining a healthy mind, body, and holistic lifestyle while working towards my goals. I am pursuing my senior year at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, studying a BFA in Design and Visual Communications and a minor in Journalism Advertising and Media Studies. Through learning strategic thinking and design problem solving, I have become a strong digital artist and care about crafting quality.

I have been working as a designer for one year at UWM Union Marketing Services. I construct uniquely-branded marketing campaigns for university departments and events. Last spring, I was nominated for a Kaleidoscope Award for outstanding creativity by my coworkers for the employee award ceremony. I was recently promoted to take on larger design orders. I accepted the role, working also as a mentor to new student designer employees. I have experience working on timelines shorter than class assignments while communicating and seeking approval with other’s shared vision.

I value the diversity of expertise and constructive critique from collaborators when working as a team to continue to further my own understanding. I am always thinking of possibilities, but am confident with my established intuition. My creative process involves focused ideas, critical decision, feedback, and patient problem solving: The essentials for expressing once-imagined concepts into compelling visuals for a purpose.
