I'm a multidisciplinary designer, but I enjoy painting, murals, playing, and getting messy, which are all part of the fun. Through my communications major I discovered how to make logos and brands, to create a personalized identity for projects and clients. My favorite work is freelance when I get to work for a small company group or friend it's always more personal. Working for something I can be connected to is always something I can appreciate.

Background: To go way back I started being interested in art and making it when I was 10 but my refinement and artistic learning era started in 2020.  I started my college career in my junior year of high school, I took dual enrollment classes to get some extra credits then applied to CCS - College for Creative Studies -  in 2021 where I received a scholarship based on my portfolio.  Through the dual enrollment program, I did a lot of illustration and drawing classes. I learned the basics and took the lessons I learned with me for paintings, drawings, and more. The lessons are color theory, drawing; shading, and perspective through still-life studies.

College years: Through CCS, I learned how to communicate type, and images, and create identity through different media and programs, including Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Indesign. One thing I liked about CCS was the connections, everyone knew everyone, and knowing I'd get to work with these people for years to come was an exciting thought; Along with the amazing alumni and designers, CCS makes it possible for us to meet. Seeing everyone's work and having many opportunities to show your work is a gift. Free critique, compliments, and growth, with the payment of hard work, and always trying to think outside the box and applying correction and lessons for everything you make.
