my passion for art started as a toddler, as i drew pictures and made arts and crafts in school. while teachers always suggested i grow up to be a firefighter or police officer, i was always more drawn to my markers and chalk. my dad was always into photography and at 13 (the same age he picked up his first minolta film camera), i picked up my first kodak point-and-shoot camera and took pictures at the park by my house. at that moment i realized i wanted to pursue art.

a few high school photography and graphic design classes helped me recognize my talent. i decided to take a risk and attend college for graphic design, which paid off as my passion for art grew deeper. i developed a strong interest in advertising, logo design, branding, and photography, and i also became curious about web design and videography outside of school.

present day i’ve enrolled in online courses to improve my leadership skills and expand my knowledge in graphic design, particularly in ui/ux design and digital illustration. I’m proficient in adobe creative suite (photoshop, indesign, illustrator, and xd) and microsoft suite, and I can seamlessly work in both mac and pc ecosystems.
