I have been working in Graphic Design for roughly 7 years. I started my love of this field when i was roughly 12 years old, when I first learned how to use Photoshop. When I got into highschool I started my official journey in learning Graphic Design. I am profecient in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. I also dabble with other programs as I am learning how to use them effectively. Photography, painting, writing, and printmaking are some of the lovely hobbies I enjoy outside of my profession. Writing is perhaps one of the most beneficial hobbies of mine due to helping me create clever, and well written content in my graphic art. I feel it is not only the images which can provoke a strong message, but also the words. I am effectively able to use both of these aspects to create a strong message.
My design (like almost all designers) has a distinctive style to it; one that has been developing over the years and continues to develop today. I do believe however, that my design style is extremely flexible. No matter what company, idea or concept I am asked to create, there are no limits to what my imagination can come up with. This is perhaps what has attracted me to this feild so strongly; the ability to be flexible and creative in so many different ways. It is very much like a puzzle which is never completely solved. There are far too many solutions to a given problem, which allows a wide variety of options to be available. It is quite an adventure to find as many solutions as possible though.
Outside of my art life I am an avid reader. I enjoy learning about many different things, which help me to be futher knowledgable about many different aspects. I enjoy sports and spend a majority of time outside. I try my best to spend at least an hour outdoors a day. I feel it is important to take some time to yourself everyday, most especially after a hard and trying day. I am actively interested in the events going on in the world, and I often times enjoy trying to spread the word out about different causes. I have started using my Graphic Design talents to create powerful messages about these causes in order to help spread the word about them. In doing this I feel like I am able to give back..
