About Me


From early on in high school, I was always drawn towards creating things of my own. I loved the process of crafting projects and the reward of completing my work. I took classes on foundational drawing, painting, digital art and photography. Over the years, this hobby grew. I fell in love with incorporating different ideas, perspectives, and concepts into my work. In my senior year of high school, I took a design class and focused my hobby into something I knew I would want to do every day.

In my studies at San Jose State, I learned important fundamentals that took my projects from simply creating to designing. I began developing important foundational skills of typography and composition. As I work towards my BFA graphic design degree, I am interested how my own personality can influence and amplify others.
