Hello

Let me take you back to my childhood, when I spent my formative years at my mother's art studio, where she worked as the creative director for a real estate magazine company. I knew I was artistic since I regularly drew and used the computer with her. When I initially started college after graduating from high school, I was like most young people: I had no idea what I wanted to accomplish with my life. To fill the gap, I just enrolled in general education courses. To fill the need, I considered starting classes in the medical field, but I quickly realized that it wasn't a good fit for me. Meanwhile, I completed my first AAS in General Studies in 2016. But it wasn't until my mother went to school to finish her bachelor's degree that I realized Graphic Design was my true calling. In 2018, I completed a second AAS in Graphic Design and graduated. However, I did not stop there. I began working as a freelancer while still in school to develop my portfolio and get industry experience, which I continue to do to this day. I worked as a Graphic Designer intern Festo, a process automation company. I worked for them as a Graphic Design/Marketing intern. I worked on a few projects for them, including company catalogs, process automation handbooks, and trade show brochures. After completing my internship, I planned to continue my education and earn my Bachelor's degree. I began in the fall of 2018 and graduated in the spring of 2021 with a BS in Visual Communication: Art & Graphic Design. During my schooling I acquired a full-time job as a Graphic Designer at Parlux, a perfume company, as where I've been for the past five years, working alongside a team of brand marketing specialists. I enjoy studying and being creative, and the development I received during my education was extremely beneficial to me.
