I believe being able to make ideas function visually is an extraordinary skill. I want to make a difference in the world by solving problems with creativity and simplicity. Design is not just a profession, it is a way of life.
Backed by a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Communication Design, and a minor in Marketing.
