Bio
I’m a hardworking individual that strives to
overcome challenges and learn something
new everyday. I always had a love for
story-telling, but struggled with using proper
grammar or structure in literature. Soon I
discovered that there was a another way to
tell a story, and that was through the use of
visuals. This is what introduced me to the
world of graphic design.
I consider myself to be well-versed in layout
design and even logo design. Most of the
illustrations I make are simple, and not too
elaborate or detailed.
