People say that the activities you participated in as a child will hint to the career path you will take in the future. If graffitiing the walls in my parent’s bedroom with a Sharpie is any indication that I would become a designer, then the people are right. I love creating and making things with my hands and I use that energy to tackle every design project.
I have my Bachelor of Science in Design in Visual Communication and Business Minor from Arizona State University. Before ASU, I received my Associate's in Digital Media Arts: Design. If I could stay a student forever, I would. I have a love of learning and a passion for design education and theory.
I found a love for design while in community college and for the past 11 years, I have been pouring myself into design projects, books, articles, conferences, and ideas. I love the variety that graphic design gives me. I enjoy working on identity projects, t-shirt designs, packaging, posters, campaigns, animation, and event branding.
I’m always agreeing to a volunteer design project for non-profits, and my favorites have involved community murals. Now, I have surpassed the walls of my childhood home, onto the walls of non-profits and local businesses, this time with a better visual communication strategy and a little more experience.
Here's a recording of me when I was 10 years old explaining the secret to becoming a good designer and artist.
