From a young age, art was always my passion. It started with coloring books and finger paints, to more traditional media such as pencil, watercolor, oil, acrylic, and glass and finally honing in on illustration as my art form of choice. My education gave me the tools to learn all art medium and expand my desire for illustration as my mode to create my art. My internships, freelance work, and jobs gave me the experience of working with clients and team members to brainstorm and create designs, work on social media platforms and marketing plans to create a final project. I want to use what I have learned from my own experiences to continue my art journey with a job that allows me to create designs, whether it impacts one person or a community.
