While illustration was my first creative experience, graphic design has become a large passion in recent years. When I attended college, I gained professional critique from talented instructors, who encouraged me to think about design and art in an entirely different way. Now, I see design everywhere and I have realized that it truly helps shape our world. I am so grateful for each time I am able to design something that is used for a specific purpose, or to help people. I love seeing my designs used by everyday people. I hope that I can share my love with others through my designs, to show everyone that they are seen and heard, and make the world more joyful, more bright, and more exciting. I truly believe this is my purpose, so I always will do the best that I can.
