Bio

Since a young age I always enjoyed taking ideas from my imagination and making it real. In fact it became a hobby of mine through Art. Drawing is something that remained a constant throughout my life, and through the years I have been able to sharpen my drawing abilities. This took time through years of educating myself in various “traditional” Art classes. I was then exposed to design for the first time in high school and everything clicked. I knew then that I wanted to immerse myself within the design world, and knew I would be able to feed my creative hunger there. I made it a goal to apply and combine my accumulated Art knowledge/ability through the scope of design.

After nearly 4 years of being immersed in Design and Visual Communication, I learned to be proficient with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Along with this, I continued to sharpen my artistic abilities and explored creativity through a variety of Art mediums including: printmaking, digital, 3d, painting, and drawing. Continuously driven as a creative, I plan to make use of my creative thinking and artistic arsenal as a ways to constantly refine my identity as a designer.
