About Me
I have a strong passion for graphic design as it combines aspects of art, marketing, and digital rendering that greatly interest me. I initially became interested in graphic design when I started working as a freelance digital artist, creating things such as book covers and profile images for small businesses. From there, my interest in the field grew as I learned about other aspects of it such as typography, brand identities, web design, and publication. I became more passionate after learning how good design work can encapsulate an idea and how, as opposed to artist posing a question with their work, designers answer questions with their work. I eagerly want to grow my experience in the field of graphic design and have the opportunity to work with and learn from experienced design and marketing teams.
