Hello!

A Little ABOUT ME
AND MY PASSION FOR ART & DESIGN.
I have always been an artistic individual, going to many art camps and workshops at a young age. This started my love for drawing and illustration, constantly looking at purchasing and collecting many art supplies to sketch and draw with.
Entering into my high school years, I was regularly participating in art and design classes, which began my passion for designing on computers using the Adobe programs for the first time.
​
In college, I learned to love design even more, studying the unique techniques of many different design projects, ideas and different designers themselves. Practicing and expanding my skills in the Adobe programs allows me to create anything I can imagine, further showcasing my passion for designing and creating projects that I love.
My DESIGN Philosophy
I want to showcase my passion for crafting thoughtful, one-of-a-kind designs with creative problem-solving, delivering impactful, timeless solutions that exceed client expectations.
​
My portfolio aims to illustrate my passion for creating artwork that inspires and goes beyond the standards of what my clients expect. I master my design in four crucial ways through composition, color, hierarchy, and simplicity. Not only is it important that I identify problems, but that I solve them in the most creative way and deliver a one-of-a-kind piece to any client.
​
My style caters towards works inspired by the minimalist and the constructivist era of design, but I continue to expand my horizons, such as from the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He created spaces that were very beautiful, as well as practical, through modern design, incorporating organic forms with geometric structures. I have more recently become fascinated by the works of Marek Haiduk, whose works incorporate strong geometric and dynamic forms with precise alignments as well as contrasting color palettes for striking images. My design process is also very key in how I produce my solutions to any design problem. Numerous hours of brainstorming, drafting, and critiquing allow me to be able to gather all the necessary tools and insight to conquer any problem in design and carefully arrive at the solution through diligence, confidence, and creativity.
​
Not only does design teach me to be diligent, careful, and attentive, but also as a discipline to focus on what is important and to continually be thinking of new ways to solve new problems creatively. This discipline further enhances my ability to understand the client, the problem, and how to highlight the right ideals to any audience that sees my work. Design is not only an art, but a discipline to work hard and to leave both an immediate impact as well as a timeless sense of inspiration for anyone in the most effective way possible.
